Noelle
Added 2020-11-04 16:00:03 +0000 UTCFanart of Noelle from Genshin Impact.
This painting was so much fun to work on, and came together surprisingly quickly. I think I managed to really outdo myself here with the metals in particular, selling the brassy-gold colour that I'm usually looking for with metals like these. Not to mention, this angle for the head isn't typically very easy or flattering, so pulling through with that is something I'm pretty darn proud of.
Some of the main challenges involved figuring out what kind of angle to draw the character, what kind of environment to put her in, and how to ensure that she doesn't get lost in the colours that were primarily going to be red and yellow/gold. I tried to change the head angle a few times but always came back to what we have here, the environment turned out to be a sort of indoor garden with light beaming down, and I managed to produce a non-intrusive blue-ish aura around her silhouette that helps her stand out from the environment.
Noelle is probably my favourite character in Genshin Impact as far as overall designs go. I have a weakness for Red, White, and Gold colour schemes, as a lot of peeps know by now. The knightly dress design is something I'm also a big fan of, and the rose motif is just perfect.
Anyway, more PSDs for the art to come- Noelle's, like the others- will be up in due time!
