Inktober 2017 Day 09 - Tabitha Cole #1

Description

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how today's piece turned out. There are a few issues like the stage right arm and hand, the way the spikes on the mace looks and how the centre of the battle skirt doesn't quite matchup with the centre of her body (it should be more to the stage right), but this does feel like one of my more better pieces.

I am also glad to FINALLY draw my new OC Tabitha Cole. I initially announced her at the end of last year/start of this one as a replacement for an adopted character, but for various reasons had yet to draw her myself. I envision Tabitha as my new Earth Avatar and Mewrah's BFF/sparring partner. It was kagato007 who helped me bring the character to life in the original commission, even going so far as to bring his own ideas to the table, such as the Uruz rune on her headband, and RedRidah later helped me expand on the character with the commission he did for me. In fact, I purposefully put the mace in her left hand (aka the stage right one), as I got the idea to make her left handed from the way RedRidah drew her.

I tried to combine the skirt from the pieces [COMMISSION] Into the Arena and We Don't Need A Hero, trying to make it look like the design from the former was placed over the latter. I don't think it quite came out the way I wanted, but this was more of a spontaneous decision as I was working on it. I also tried to include the glove on the stage right hand and tied cloth on the stage left arm from RedRidah's piece, while giving her stage left arm the bracer from kagato007's as I couldn't quite decide which I liked both. Finally, the top is loosely based on this one, with straps over her shoulders. I might tweak with the upper part of the design so it looks more like this one, which I made using a character creator tool Nocturnaliss once linked me. Expect me to experiment and develop her clothes more in the future, perhaps even resulting in me doing a few design concept poses to play around with them.

I've considered colouring some of my Inktober pieces and this one is definitely a likely candidate for it, regardless of the small issues I have with it. Plus it would be good to try and establish a bit of a palette for her, especially when I want to start commissioning other artists to work on Tabitha, and revise what I've done here.


:bulletred: Pose is loosely based off of this one.
