Beer Maiden Concept

This piece is purely frivolous, I am gradually pushing and training my Photoshop skills and wanted to draw something completely from memory. However I have of-course looked at reference images also.

This was my initial drawing;


I then drew this on Photoshop and shaded it very simply;



I then decided I wanted to make this character less fantastical and more anatomically correct; I wanted her to be a tad more realistic (and less post-plastic surgery 'Harlequin') The picture below is my drawing SO FAR. I am yet to add any detail to the skin, hair or face. I have so far spent about 6 Hours on this idea as I am taking things slowly and trying out a lot of techniques along the way!


The leaf texture in the background is from;

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
