Reference Process WIP
🕑 Added 2023-11-29 14:18:47 +0000 UTCWorking on a HUGE Comm and the first step I always take is putting together reference material. This will turn into a 5 part, 3 figure sequence when it’s done! Currently still in the sketching phase, but wanted to show you a little bit about the start of the process.
Especially for known characters like these 3 Persona5 characters, having their costume accessible while drawing is crucial! I always try to keep as consistent to the original source material as possible. In some cases costumes or textures might be simplified, but I feel as long as the original character is recognizable, then we’re on the right track.
Alternatively for fictional characters/creatures not from a specific piece of media, like these Egyptian Goddesses, I prefer to compile a wide array of different reference image examples and pull elements from each. Designing the Egyptian costume and animalistic elements of their Goddess Forms is my favorite part 😄
If you‘re ever commissioning me or any other artist, having reference material is really important. Gives us something to go off of in terms of your vision.
