Katia pinup vote [3/3] Ends Monday 12pm EST
- A- Mage-like pinup portrait. Front view. 227
- B- Rework of previous Katia piece, updated. Back view. 215
So I did a few things yesterday. Read a fair bit of Prequel, read your guys' suggestions, and took a look at what other artists have drawn of Katia. All this together helped me narrow it down a lot, as initially, there was a LOT of possibilities and stuff to go on.
From my assessment, she's sexy and fun, but also very capable and forward-thinking. Her un-fun sexiness is in the past, and while she's more promiscuous than some, I felt like the vaaast majority of art of her (even my previous one) does dwell on drunk, semi-forced nature. So I wanted to learn more towards the more recent, built-up Katia as of late, one with a bit more skill, confidence, and uh.. I guess clothes? but not by very much. Still more of a sly tease in some ways and certainly not a pure/must-protec character, she also deserves a shot at some art that elevate her a little.
My two options here that I boiled it down to were A- a forward-facing, strong pose showcasing her figure but also robes, magic(fire/or spells), with a mage-like backdrop(more stylized bg than landscape), and B- A rework of my older Katia doodle, which I do still like, but just fixing some things and updating parts of it. I do feel like it was a well-received and still-holds-up picture, so here's the chance at maybe making it into a fully finished product.
I have no preference on these-- I did start to do a third, but wasn't liking it, I wanted only to put up the strongest ideas.
Poll open til noon (12p) EST Monday, cause that's about when I'd want to decide and get moving on it. Hope you all enjoy!
