Description My entry for this week's Character of the Week contest over at ConceptArt.org. The brief was pretty interesting and I had a lot of fun with it. As with all these challenges, I tried to keep the concept very clear and illustrate exactly what the character is and does. Comments & criticism welcome!

I really like this one. It looks like something from Changeling: The Lost.

Just brilliant all around, the design is perfect for the character (like the large eyes for night vision and long feet and toes for balancing on bedposts) just great

I really liked this one. You completely avoided the 'hot naked chick'.

Really nice work This is a pretty complex pose.

One thing that stands out to me (and this is little) is how the dream strands pass through her right hand. Visually it lines up with her middle finger and shoots out of it, a bit like a gun. I only see this as a problem since I believe you intend her to be massaging/weaving the strands. Perhaps a more delicate pinch of the fingers?

Secondly: if she is a dream weaver.................................. she should be topless.
kidding!!!!!! Sooo Kidding

Smolin In reply to AdventureGoat [2011-07-05 04:56:48 +0000 UTC]

LOL! She was topless, but quickly wove herself a top so she wouldn't be disqualified by the "no hot nude chicks" rule. Thanks for the praise. I didn't use reference on the pose, so I'm surprised that it doesn't look more wonky than it does. But I see what you mean about the finger position: I should give that a quick edit...
