Production

I started by drawing a basic pose to add onto progressively

After obtaining a pose I liked, I began to add detail into it, i.e armour,

colour and background

After finishing the draft

drawing, I created a draft

illustration, a rough idea

of what the final product

would have been like

I then got photos of myself standing in the same pose, holding onto a

short ruler to act as a dagger template in the later product

I photoshopped images of heavy armour that I could find closest to

what I’d sketched

After adding the final parts of armour and a background similar to

what I’d hoped for, I begun tracing over myself in illustrator, making

progress with the character first.

After finishing the drawing of the character, I begun to add the

background, trying to contrast between the lighter colours on the

left and the dark reddish colours to the right, and both the sides

being split by the stream of water which runs into the blinding light
