Had a lot of fun designing the Butterfly, I tried to incorporate as many symbols as possible in her costume and outlook. Heavily inspired by Art Nouveau and the colours of actual butterflies. Her earing is a chrysalis in she herself is emerging from one. I wanted her to be delicate and fragile hence the cloth on her eyes.
I wanted to make a more finalized version of the character that would go on my portfolio too, so here it is.
I really like the idea of the inside of the cloth although I think the bottom needs re-thinking. Is it meant to be wings? A blanket? I am a bit confused. Apart from that she looks really cool, I like it and the concept art is looking great :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sam, the blanket thing around her is representing the chrysalis she is coming out of, but I guess it doesn't read well. :(
