Digital painting tutorial Character design Dark Mage. Here is another character design I just got done last week. I post it along with the previous post. But then I realize the post was way too long so I split them. Now she has her own home instead of rooming with those Terminators and Skynet.
This character is conceptualize around the idea of the dark side magic user or Mage. The first time I heard about a Mage was probably way back when I was still play Final Fantasy on Playstation. Final Fantasy 7 is probably my most favorite.
The Black Mage is the offensive magic caster. While the Black Mage has weak physical combat skills and has lower strength out of any character class, she is capable of inflicting negative status effects and causing great damage to the enemy with his Black Magic.
In this piece, I use a lot of custom brushes and hardly use any default Photoshop brushes. Though the principle remains the same, focus on the correct shape or form and value (light and dark). One great advantage that most custom brushes has over the default round in Photoshop or Gimp is the way they can create edges. Most custom brushes has texture which makes it easier for us to paint cooler looking edges.
