Hello folks! First thread here on Crimson Daggers, let's see what happens!
I am planning to do a series of illustrations of the Zodiac signs, with "guardian/keeper" as the theme. First up is Aquarius. I decided to take a new approach to the sign and work from it's core description rather than a stereotype. I was surprised to find out that Aquarius' element is actually air. Symbol for Aquarius is "the waterbearer" and the associated gemstone is amethyst so I decided to play with that.
Attached is my first pass on the illustration based on a thumb I did in my sketchbook. I want to make these illustrations the very best I can, so no need to be gentle here! It's still in it's earliest stages so now is the time to make drastic changes if necessary.
Crit away! And thanks in advance :)!
