@Madzia WOW! the colors and mood of this illustration is so beautiful! And i love the concept very original!

@Eduardo love the story and the composition can't wait to see the final image!

So heres what I've been working on. Super late I know I know.

some thumbnails and studies with more to come since the entries are due tonight so please excuse my huge art dump throughout the day!

In the lore of Melinoe she is sometimes described as "both black and white" so I decided to play with that a bit by centering all my designs around that concept


Then i chose my favorite 3 thumbnails and altered them a bit mixing and matching my favorite elements from other thumbnails and reference into a more fleshed out concept


Now on to the composition of the actual illustration.


You can see that the design of the goddess has changed again. I can never make up my mind :P


and heres two studies i did just to warm up before i start on the final illustration





Everybody here seems to really be giving it their all. Its so inspiring! I can't wait to see everybody's finals!
