@jamielefay I saw his story board and think i understand his look and style. But Can you also tell me everything and anything you can about gabriel that could help make the drawing really fit the literature. Like if you want to give me specifics on clothes, a type of pose, a facial expersion, maybe even if he would be in a forest or building or if you just want me to draw him by himself. Anything and everythijh you can think of would be helpful"
Hi! Sure. I'm delighted to provide more detail.
Here is a download. I give you two options. Please let me know if any of these will be enjoyable to draw and if they suit your style. I can come up with other scenarios if you prefer.
Option 1) The city skyline and full moon as a backdrop. Gabriel in a suit (dark blue, no black). Shirt sleeves cover his knuckles; he hides the tattoos on his hands. Eyes are important. Glow is important.
Option 2) Two identical faces. One wears a goatee (Gabriel), the other is clean shaven (Sathian). One has cyan eyes (Gabriel), the other green eyes (Sathian). Sathian lost an eye, in its place, darkness. Sathian looks darker and evil. Moon as a backdrop.
Explanation: Sathian is Gabriel’s ancestor. Sathian looks exactly like Gabriel, but he is clean shaven and lost an eye on the same day that he lost his mind and did some despicable things. Gabriel is haunted by the evil caused by his ancestor. The Ahe’ey do not trust Gabriel because he looks like Sathian and he is a Royal Ange’el just like Sathian.
The vision board and the latest competition post include everything else. Please try to keep to the colours of the Ange’el (as per vision board). No red or gold if possible, just white, blues, greens and everything in between.
The above assumes the same style of illustration as the two previous submissions. I cover Gabriel's face in the vision board. Here is what I usually use as a reference for Sathian's facial expression:
Hope this helps. Thank you once again, J
This is going to be good. I should have guessed that the image in your head for Sathian is the God of Mischief himself. But Sathian feels much darker than Loki when I read Ahe'ey.
Looks, not necessarily character traits.... we will find out more about Sathian's past soon ;)
Very helpful, 1 question, the two faces illustration sounds intresting, so are you think like just two floating faces or its up to me? And in regards to the coty skyline and moon, would he ever be standimg on top of a building, or is he just down on the street or in the distance with the city behind him, like is he hiding from anything?
Thank you so much @gavicrane. J
thank you
