The Priest

This is a piece of character art for a project that I’m currently working on. The setting is a large township in a fictional 1800s type era. The township is run by a council which is trying to maintain peace among many factions and guilds that threaten the prosperity of the city. This character “The Priest” portrays the head of one such faction.

I used Blender for the initial sculpt as well as the lighting, and then Artrage and Krita to do a paintover, background, and effects. It’s really satisfying for me to use various tools like this to quickly arrive at the style I’m looking for.

I plan on there being more images in this series, so keep an eye out.

As always, critiques welcome and appreciated!
