Meredith

Staple features:

• doctor
• stuck up
• very slim
• almost giving sickly, ironic for being a doctor
• Greek features
• nose with a strong bridge for a strong silhouette
• Although Greek features, very pale skin, still with an olive pigmentation though.

Meredith is a woman with a strong temperament, she is a leader and a mean one. I wanted her design to have her personality shoot through, this involved her first outfit was very put together and neat with not a lot going on, I think that speaks for itself, even though not complex it tells you everything you need to know about her.

Starting off with loose sketches again to get my bearing, I made her very stationary to begin with but she is a busy bee so they were too static.

I liked the face for this sketch, so I took that onto the subsequent renditions.

I liked this pose in the beginning to tried to continue with it. The first outfit seemed too secretary, I wanted her career to be obvious as it plays into her future skill set of blood magic.

After finding her simple outfit, I tried some hair, I took inspiration from Greek hair pieces, but they seemed a bit too relaxed for her, especially not appropriate while working.

The pose started to look wrong and wasn't dynamic enough for this character. 

After finding the right pose, it became much simpler to colour pick and render. I made her much paler in the render to be in line with the initial character concepts.

The render was an exact of the rough sketch just with more detail and a blood bag added.

This illustration was the quickest of them and gained me some time back, which I greatly appreciated. I am in love with the way I rendered her clothes for this one, the tights are exactly how I wanted, and her coat is rendered just enough to have detail while being a very boring white coat. Her face is also perfect for her demeanour; this is my favourite in terms of rendering. I really tried to take on what had been said about not overdoing it by a lecturer, and I am very happy I did.
