How to make your characters even more complicated and harder to draw in one simple step:

Give them full-body tattoos.

Some Polynesian tribes would cover themselves in these really beautiful, elaborate tattoos, symbolizing any number of things.

Haven't quite settled on Mahi's yet. His have a flamelike appearance to them, nach.

Did a redesign of the costume and removed the tattoos. I guess I want to base the culture on ancient Hawaiian and less on the Maori, mostly because the Hawaiian tattoos were lightyears less abundant than the Maori moko. Besides that, I didn't really get the Moko to look right in the first place.

Women in ancient Hawaiian culture had scarce tattooing, and I may actually add some tattoos on her left arm later (this isn't finished). You can see some uhi on her chin for now.

Is there going to be a written story eventually Dipstikk?

Dipstikk 05-04-2010 07:17 PM

There's bits and pieces so far. Plotlines, mainly for the first season and parts of the second, but I'm saving them until I know for sure what kind of medium I want to produce this in.

New costume design. A few pictures depict pre-colonial Hawaiians wearing feather capes over their arms, and so I'm trying that out.

Also gives you an idea of how tall some of the Miako are in comparison to a human. This one's a soldier class. Scouts are smaller, leader classes like Nodak are about the size of an Allosaurus. Think "semi-truck" in terms of tallness.

I don't know what went wrong to make her expression so fugly, but I'll fix it when I ink it. The eyes are probably off center. Good call by MeechMuncie.

Yeah, here's the front of her new costume design. I might make the cape out of something other than feathers, I dunno. I like where it's going though.

MeechMunchie 06-24-2010 08:38 AM

I think her left eye is overlapping her nose a little.

EDIT: Our left. Her right.

Dipstikk 06-24-2010 11:32 AM

Thanks. Fixed it.

Oh my god, this is amazing! I can't wait to see it all come together.

Is that what you crazy kids are calling it these days.

On topic:
Really nice though...her expression is really believable.

Self-explanatory- Miako makes a stupid move and Kei whacks him upside his pointy head with her trusty oar. Cue obligatory butt shot.

A redesign of Overgrowth. I really love how this one came out. He looks like a Todd McFarlaine toy.

Nice, love the first one. Dat ass XD

Heatstroke, Elder's first successful human/elemental hybrid. Her appearance was based on something like a charred corpse and Hades from Hercules. I had to get the fire hair in the design.

Her body is composed of the element she embodies, which means instead of organs and such, she has a molten core. Because of the high temperatures within her charred body, her skin will often tear spontaneously to release belches of flames. Because these breaks tend to happen when there's more friction, it can often appear that she's leaving a trail of burning footsteps.

She can harness the fire within her or manipulate flames, but like the other false elementals, like Overgrowth and Whisper, combining herself with her element or becoming it is impossible- an advantage only enjoyed by Kei, who is a true water elemental.

The fact that Heatstroke's powers provide her with a handicap against Kei is not lost on either of them, or Elder, who uses Heatstroke in battle as a means to instigate fights or draw Kei into a trap. Because she's considered generally useless against Kei, Elder tends to employ her more as his right-hand-woman and lab assistant.

Also her head looks tiny why is her head so small goddamn it
