Basm - character design



         A few months ago i decided to give up on traditional art (printmaking) and to start learning digital painting. Actually,this was the reason i decided to study in an art university, but on the way i got lost in printmaking, and other stuff.
        It was just a few months ago,April, when i realize i need to choose what i will do in the future. Having just 3 months left till the final presentation of my master study , i decided to do some digital paintings, for my project, and in the same time to learn as much as i can about digital painting. (I've tried digital painting in the past , but nothing serious, always giving up after a few days.)
        Because i like games, i wanted to make character design, the only problem was that i needed to create a universe, a story, for my characters, but there was no time. I've been thinking of mythology like Greek or Norse, but there was already a lot of illustration of this mythologies, and i gave up. But, while i was listening Subcarpati( romanian hip-hop artist,who is using Romanian folklore as inspiration) the idea of illustrating characters from Romanian mythology, came into my mind, and i thought why not?
The start was very slow,i didn't know what style to use,but i was determined to see my project happening. I remembered a game i played last year-Bastion-with an awesome art style and i used this art style as guideline.
So, like this I started my adventure in digital painting.
Thank you for watching!
