AVATAR - Comic - trashmito - Electrica

[trashmito]

Greetings all!

I've been thinking about my avatar for a while now. The one I entering the contest with is not the first version. First I tended to do a creature close to nature, hunting, living with no worries. But I tought that is not what I want to do.
So my avatar is a super being, Electrica who is charged with electricity. Not only charged, but she radiates. She lives in a city witch is sealed on a planet with savage waists. One day Electrica came down from the sky as a tiny little girl, no one knows from where exactly, but the residents of the city saw her good intentions so they admitted her to their community. As she grew the people discovered the true nature of her destructive power. Anywhere she went, wrecked all the machines with her electromagnetic field. A craftmen taught about the problem, and made an armor witch increases Electrica's power, and also helps her to control it. Since then Electrica is able to fly and she became the protector of the city.
Except that she is a normal teenager, always smiling, always happy little girl. She like to sing and she really like little kids. Maybe she will play with them in the final picture ofcourse demonstrating her power in a friendly or funny way.
Her hair rising to the sky, because the electricity .

Really nice sketches and inking

i have one question...did you made your sketch on paper or digitally?

[trashmito]

Thank you guys!

I made my sketches on paper. The tool for the inking is isograph pen, but I had to vectorise the original, because I work in big size, so the lines would be lost otherwise.

[trashmito]

This sketch is a little more about armor design. I enlighted it a bit. Maybe it's still not the final version.
Size A3, tool: 0.35 mechanical pencil.

[POSEIdOON]

I love your armor design, especially in the part of the arms

...and you have a very clean line art, thats why i asked if you made the sketches digitally.

I'll continue to see your work
that is looking really good

[mr_carl]

as POSEIdOON mentioned, really great line art you've got there and the arm peace's looks frikking awsome.

[trashmito]

Okay, so here is todays process.
Steps:
1. I made a clear lineart of the previous picture.
2. Started to inking it.
3. Inking...
4. Inking...
5. Drawing some more...
6. Inking some more...
7. I was thinking more about the environment, and a strange idea came up: what if, the sealed city is a historical eclectic town under a huge dome. Well, I am living in a historical town so the inspiration is gerat. Just love old buildings . The tought was followed by action, and I drew the most detailed environment I possibly could imagine. Now it's only pencil. I'll work it out as soon as I can, if my time allows.
Electrica got a few changes on her armor, to fit more in this environment. Gothic elements are dominant. Anyway it's still a concept, but shaping well and I think the final scene will take place on the square below.
Hope you like it!

Very nicely done background and the inking is looking great.
Are you going to colour it also or have it in a classic grayscale style.
I also wonder do you scan the image or photo it?

[trashmito]

Thank you
Yes, I plan to do coloured picture too.
I scan the image, but my scanner is not very good, and I have to decrease the image size because of the size limit. If I finish this concept, I'll try to post a better quality picture.

You have an awesome style and inking skills. Congrats and good luck!

[POSEIdOON]

Well, i don't know what to say except, it looks AWESOME!!!
...and the gothic buildings gives it a classy style

for me you're already a winner

[poopipe]

very nice indeed.

have you thought about putting some people in the square below? maybe looking upwards?

[trashmito]

Thanks for the comments, you're all very kind .

I had it on my mind that I put people on the square but haven't decided yet.
