Popola, WIP



WIP. Sketch of the character Popola from Nier.

There's about a million things that I have to fix on the figure, so naturally I decided to ignore all of that and draw a big world map behind her.

Maybe want to try coloring it after I work up the grays a little more. Not sure if I like it enough for that. We'll see.

This is really good. I love maps, and great work on her eyes / face.

Thanks!

Yeah, I got a little carried away with the map. I couldn't find a good screen of how it looks in-game, so I started drawing things from memory. I deliberately wanted to make it look like those old-school game maps where the land has a very "illustrated" feel and is literally crawling with creatures and other little details. Something like this!

(One thing I love about those maps... whenever there's a body of water, you HAVE to show a ship just kind of blowing along. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.)

Anyway thanks! Might try to color it but I'm so terrified I'll screw it up. I don't often go from full grayscale to color so I'll have to stea-- um, research ways on how to do that.
