Edolie! One of the oldest characters, she first popped up in the story five years ago and looked.. pretty stupid. The only thing that I kept from that is her face - it still speaks to her character, so it's good to go.
From her last incarnation though she hasn't changed much, (see older deviation: ur doing it wrong) except her colors, a few tweaks on her outfit, and actually coming up with how I think the wings need to look. I referenced the angel wings of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law for a start, she's got such a mastery of flow in her sketches and I was really tired of drawing wings that looked immovable and flat.
Yes, wings. Im aware of the cliche'. Painfully so. But, I like them. There's nothing more fun in the entire universe to draw, and if I want to draw five hundred feathers over and over again, that's just my prerogative. That, and they're not totally redundant, they stand for something. If nothing else, I seriously needed something easy to spot that identified her class of character.
Antique bronze is the new black! It didn't make any sense to keep painting her red and black. Coppery sunset orange is also a better fit for her anyway.. and look, no shoes! I guess that means she's got really dirty socks.
Hooray! Off to work on other stuff now. Thanks everybody for tagging along, the idea for this project is to have it ready to be worked on by the summer. So hopefully come june I'll have some information on a place for this thing to live! Finally! First i'm still working on a format to actually tell the story in, since comics have a way of eating my brain to death.
Actually, for anyone and everyone who makes it this far into the comment, if you've got an example of neat/imaginative storytelling, please send me a note with a link! I'm studying a lot of different ways of getting this thing unstuck to the roof of my skull and out there, but I'm trying to be more outside of the box than I usually am about it. Help!
