The Jade Maiden
A proteus project done for a concept art class, where we progressed throughout the semester from sketches, to character sheets, to environmental / mood sheets, to a final static media presentation in the form of a poster. This project really helped me develop an artistic style that is different from the lined drawings I did previously.

The final result combines both the abstractness of the original character concept and the painted, minimal-color look of the environments.
Environment - Exterior
Environment - Interior
Environment Concept Sheet - Exterior
I started using a painterly, looser style with limited color palette for the environments.

Character Turnaround
The first iteration of my character had more distinct linework and a brighter color palette.

I started with a more anatomically-correct figure (center) that became more abstract in the end.
