And here is a winged character I actually intended to do. She is one of my favorites because I had her concept in my mind before I ever started her. Among obvious abilities like flight, she has very high resistance to cold, has darkvision and has control over the wind elements.
She is rarely out of her domain far in the Northlands and has a snow tiger (Lilly) who is her constant companion.
Lastly, I actually wanted some abs on this character so I went the route of constructing them myself with shading/highlights, so if they look odd that’s why.
Here is Snow Angel!
Nice, Candruth! That novel sound like it is going to be really interesting. Synnove looks pretty sweet as well. One kick to the nuckers from her and it’s lights out!

Thanks! He’s one of my six main characters in my novel I’m currently editing. The premise revolves around bionic limb-replacement technology that has been made illegal and the resistance that pushes back against heavy enforcement by the Lancers. He suffered a nasty fall that left him as a double-amputee and paraplegic, both of which were solved with bionics. Unfortunately, bionics aren’t perfect, so the bionic spine leaves him sort of numb below the chest even though he can still walk. He and Synnove eventually get together because they’ve both been pretty extensively repaired. They’re also secretly a couple of rednecks, so there’s that.
I like it. All the pieces fit together really well, and the shading’s pretty detailed.
@Tiberius & Herr D- Cheers guys.
Anyway, renaming and reposting this one for the current contest.
I love the design. I really love the color choices. The shading just makes him come alive, very well done!
Out of curiosity, any backstory for this guy?
Yeah, that’s pretty sweet. A totally different view with awesome effects, very well done! It looks like you made the lighting a bit brighter in the last one, which I think made it look even better.
Here’s one I didn’t save a text file for and it was originally too many KB’s to post so hopefully after some cropping it will work here. If it works, it started out as me messing around with wings and eventually developed into an actual character.
Here is Sarim.
No problem! Speaking of fire, here’s Burning Veins, a piece I did for the Elemental character design challenge.
(P.S. Sorry there’s two files. I forgot to name it correctly.)

this is my hero for the elemental contest
