Re: LordBob's commissionned work
I'd go for A too. Or maybe D with C's "coiffe", and maybe without the neck-thing (go for A or C's model on that thing for which I don't have a word?). Although for some reason I pictured her more in colors of blue/cyan, I guess purple could do. Isn't she supposed to be called the queen of ice or something like that, or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Wow, really great work once again. All of them are wonderful imo, the one I like most is C. Reasons: I love the turtle neck and headdress, very medieval-looking. The dress seems to be made of heavy brocade, a very expensive and royal material in old times - seems very fitting to me. You could go with the pronounced chest of D for a more feminine look, but I prefer the more reserved and closed-up dress, as it adds to her air of haughtiness and arrogance (goes well with her pose).LordBob wrote:In other news, I've began studies for Asheviere. Different outfits and colour schemes. As ever, they're modular and you're all welcome to comment and say if you like such or such element from that stance or the other one.
B is just a little too androgynous in my eyes, while A is the classic high fantasy sorceress cliché (a little too much skin and bling-bling for my taste).
But like I said, all of them look amazing & fit the character well.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Those are all pretty cool, but if I had to choose then I'd go with D because I think it has the best combination of clothing and pose. I'd remove the neck covering though, to make her look less chaste. She doesn't need to be a tramp, but she's still probably the kind of person who hasn't shied away from utilizing her femininity in order to manipulate others or even as an extension of politics, if you get my meaning. If you go with D, then the hand holding the skirt might or might not be hard to get to mesh well with the final cropping.
I'm not sure which headgear is best, but if I could drop one then that'd be B. Are the black strands hanging from A's headgear her own hair? If so, then I think that would look pretty good if you made it cover less of her face (like in C; less like a helmet, more like a hair...thing). And maybe the "horns" could be a little bit shorter and the hair even longer? Other than that, I think C would be a good choice too.
My vote would be something like this: D's pose and clothes with the neck thing removed, A's or C's headgear and C's or D's face.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
For heads I think C fits her. The head on B reminds me of Magneto from X-men; it's way too helmety.
For the dresses, I could picture her wearing any of those. But considering the occasion, probably A looks the most commanding.

Oh god. Now that is a nightmareLord-Knightmare wrote:My vote goes to D. C is the worst in my view (reminds of Granny Goodness )
Based on the general feeling, we're heading for D with C's headgear and collar, and probably C's colors as well (I like these deep crimsons). don'tmind the faces though, they're just placeholders.
On a side note, I've updated Delfador's mentoring pose.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
I vote C with B's headgear.

I vote A with D's headgear, but with a younger and less ugly face.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
I'd vote A as well, but not looking quite that old.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Ashie:
Overall A, including pose, chubbiness, dress and headgear. Especially hands of A looks like a pure win with the wrist bend.
Some miscellaneous impressions:
B's head comes across as more proud than A, and the higher hands have the effect of looking more tense.
C has a posture like someone who has been a gymnast in youth.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
I would go for C with the cape of A and the headgear of D and the hand positions of A.

No progress on Asheviere yet, but the first mentoring variant for Delfador.

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Excellent!
Re: LordBob's commissionned work
I have a strange feeling the head doesn't fit the body. I also think his left hand isn't placed in a correct angle. But anyway, this is great.
