Step by step
First I made sketch of Azraella, following pibara's post with references for some characters (https://steemit.com/fiction/@pibara/ragnarok-conspiracy-casting-reference-models-for-marylucy-to-work-with) plus specifications by discord where we've been in contact.
Drawing style I made it very realistic like contest's illustration, to ensure coherence between them. I used a palette of greyish tones for the character as the author's request, he wanted typical image of little-grey-man. This is my first attempt doing an alien and was very funny, we have more freedom in respect of anatomy.
Then I continued detailling the rest of her Martian body xD, was very easy to my sorprise.
Satisfied with her appearance, started to add lights effects to correct the tone so that it could looks like she is floating inside a hibernation-capsule.
I was correcting wall's perspective and thinking about its texture, I had time searching reference photos because I wanted something technologic, spatial and peaceful, inspired in the essence of this species.
Then I tried various kind of walls, this one was my best and combined very well with capsule's door. Also I added hologram details on the glass, inspired by Passengers movie and panels with buttons on the wall was my invention.
And here is the final illustration, I detailed their shadows like no focal point even they are in spotlight.
Honestly, thank you very much @pibara for this opportunity to work with him, it's been very productive for my artistic development and I hope I've given shape of his letters.
Thanks for see this post and your support, the next post will be new content. Also you can see Azraella on my instagram ^^. So, see you :P. I hope you visit @pibara's profile and read his awesome novel which is available in English for now.
