#growths

So for my final in my Drawing 1 class we could draw whatever we want as long as we used the various techniques we learned throughout the semester. So what I decided was to do a watercolor painting of my deity oc that created my original species, the Daemortis.

This was due on the 13th of December and I got started on it on the 5th of December. So I had basically a week before it was due. It was my first time designing her and I had to restrain myself on certain details since I wanted to get it done. It was still detailed but not to the point where I would be caught up on it.

She is a deity of death and disease so I looked at references of Vultures to incorporate that into her design. But I also looked up a variety of diseases and skin conditions. Showing her pale to discolored skin, cysts, rashes, tears at the mouth, and such. The horns are based on horn cysts. When it came to the wings I did use watercolor black first but it wasn’t dark enough so I mixed charcoal into it. The charcoal made a fuzzy texture which really make this piece stand out more. I would use the residue of charcoal with minimal shadows on the body. I also used a bit of ink when it came to her hair.

I am genuinely proud of this piece and it is a super good basis what what I want to go for when I work on her design more.
