Evolution of Movalyn
-
I'm not sure if grabbing someone's image off the internet and chopping it up using photoshop counts as "art" but I wanted to make a post showing the evolution of Movalyn.
I've based the character on an image I found on Deviantart. The idea is that as the character develops, the image will gradually change.
The original image is by Clint Cearley (painted) and Joshua Munkers (drawn).
I wanted to get rid of the bewbtube and add spell component pouches. I'm not really happy with how it turned out, but I think I successfully de-skanked the image a bit. I'm not fan of how female characters are over sexualized in fantasy art. It's as insulting to men as it is to women. I mean seriously - if it's cold enough in that swamp to be wearing fur would we really be seeing her belly button?
I'm about to write about how she enters into her Pale Master class. She shaves the side of her head and paints runes and patterns on her skin. I kinda stopped after removing the hood and adding a shaved hairdo. Runes coming soon.

(I thought I'd post this here too. Again, I'm not sure if AI touch-ups of Photoshopped mashups count as "art", but the image is kinda meaningful for me. This image is the first of a series illustrating Movalyn interacting with her shadow. The RP revolves around Carl Jung's concept of the "shadow self". She casts the "animate shadow" spell (lvl 1 assassin spell), with the conjured shadow creature being a physical manifestation of her own psyche, or more specifically, the parts of her psyche that remain concealed under the mask presented to the rest of the world. At lvl 7, the summoned Shadow became a Shadow Mastiff. I wanted the transformation of her shadow self into a black dog to represent Movalyn's descent into a deep depression. This first image represents her "shadow work", exploring the nature of her summoned shadow by allowing it opportunities to write to her. The shadow's writing gradually becomes darker, less coherent, and more nihilistic, until the shadow itself transforms into the black dog - a metaphor for depression.)
