Paladin warrior in steel armor with bunny design

Paladin female warrior in steel armor with bunny design. It is finally done! It takes me about 6-8 hours to actually paint total. Continuing from previous post, the idea derives from the year of the rabbit. It has been quite a while since I did a heavy knight set type of armor. I used to do it everyday at ArenaNet. :-) So I guess I miss making heavy armor design a bit. So partially I think I did it to satisfy my character with armor design craving.
In this design, I first just focus on the shape of the overall body (silhouette). Once I figured out the silhouette I am looking for, I will start to paint and render them out. It is a lot easier to get the big picture down first, then paint in little tiny detail afterward. You can have in mind what kind of detail and design you are aiming for, but just keep it at bay until you can settle with your overall look of the armor as a whole.
Most of the time when I work on the armor designs, silhouettes is probably the most important element to begin with. I will sketch tons of thumbnails of different silhouettes, then pick and choose. Because if you can variety of cool looking silhouettes, then for sure they will all look different when you get down to really draw and paint them. Anyway, that is just some tips. It will save you a lot of time in character design process. Also get you variety of different design in a quick way.


Ok, here is off the topic but my friend Carlos is fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I just donated $25 today, they have list of donors on the right column of the page. So if you guys are interested in good cost and good karma, feel free to help us out. Here is the link Carlos' Fundraising Page ;-)

And here is the final design of the Paladin.

New armor design sketch for 2011 Chinese New Year.

Hi guys, it's been a week of absent on the blog. But here is a new post of an armor design I've been working on last night. The armor concept art is still in process, hopefully I can get it done sometimes this week. The idea of the armor is influenced by the year of the rabbit. I was initially thinking about painting a rabbit Mage, but it didn't turn out well (Maybe I will take another stab at the concept character Mage sometime in the future.)
The second attempt of the rabbit idea was having a huge warrior in rabbit armor gear, I thought it would be cool. Because of such contrast in the face that huge intimidating warrior is wearing a rabbit armor design (You can see the sketch below.) Then finally, I decided to go with a warrior girl in the bulgy armor suit with rabbit design instead. As you will see a character design painting step by step progression below.


First, I begin the rough drawing with just gesture drawing of a female form. As I always say, it is always good to practice life drawing. Then I just sketch over the form with detail of the outfit and armor design. The detail does not have to be tight because we are not aiming for a finish line work. We will paint over everything, so the sketching line will just serve as a guideline for us to paint over. Enjoy the step by step process.

Here is the warrior paladin girl

Here is the idea I started with but did not fell through.

Here is a step by step from sketch to basic block in painting.
