My Warrior Budgie - Concept Art
Hi everyone! 😊
This month I participated again in the character design challenge, which proposes each month a theme to create a character design. The theme for January was "Bird Warrior".
When I heard about the theme, I thought of this GIF :
And I laughed in myself at the idea of making an illustration based on this GIF 🤣
So, the idea was here. Now, graphically, I thought of making an old school style, such like comics books. It is a style that I didn't explored yet, so it was a good opportunity to do so with this funny theme.
Process
First, I looked for the main colors and the composition.
Then, I put the explosion and the comics textures.
I changed the line color of the bird, brown looks more soft and retro.
I changed the legs (the precedents was horrible but it was just a draft lol) and put a motion blur effect on, and also added some lighting effects.
Finally, I added a reflection and corrected a bit the general lighting.
I really enjoyed to make this illustration. The theme was pretty funny, and the exploration of the comic style, with its very graphic side that I am not used to approach (I used to paint in a more realistic style or at least more painted). I liked to add the dots texture, I think it gives a nice look
Hope you will like it 😊
See you soon for others creations!
