Module 5: Avatar

This is the finale of the avatar. for the fantasy avatar project i mixed in a little bit of future fantasy style influences by making the head more alien, i used the warped tool to shape all parts of the head and body to give her a slimmer frame and with the pen tool drew vector shapes for the warpaint/tattoo designs.

once i drew the designs i wanted to make them feel less digital and more realistic so i altered each one to not be exactly the same as the rest with perspective correction tools.

for the eyes i tried something different by brushing out the eyes and eyelashes completely and drawing them in myself, and shading around the eyes to give it a little more natuarl feel than just drawing them in as vector shapes.

the final steps of the project i altered the hue/saturation/lightness to give it a strong contrast and used a simple texture background to make the portrait of the warrior pop out

Here is it again but with a side by side comparison to show the contrast to the original model.

Please be warned before clicking the link to her image that she is nude in the image. I cut it to hide this fact.
