Working on a new Ref Doll, this time of the main villainess of my Team Eclipse Sonic Fan Characters, “Hex the Bat” an evil sorceress. Not just that but she is in desperate need of a design update since she just looks like Rouge coloured grey and dressed in rags as can be seen in the two old pics below: Posted ImagePosted Image I want to update her so she would be more unique and less like a recolour. I've done a numbr of design ideas over the past week with some help from friends. My first ideas had her in a more revealing outfit inspired by belly dancer style fashion with two different hair styles, one inspired by Raven from Teen Titans, the other is more pulled back, but both featured a very long braided pony tail as I like that look. Posted ImagePosted Image After some feedback from friends I went with the second design idea, corrected some lines addded more details like tattoos on her hands and zippers on her boots. Then I got to colouring her and found myself at a block, I couldn't decide what colour I wanted her hair to be. Here are some examples of Hex with different colours for hair and some examples of her with or without sleeves. Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image My friends all say that her with purple hair looks good, but they also suggested posting here if I want to get more feedback (Don't get very much on Tumblr or DA). So what do you all think? Which design looks good to you? What colours work, what doesn't work? Which hair style do you like best? Or any other suggestions and advice you can give. |

To help give a little kickstart to this thread, my critique on the design up to this point; I vote to keep the sleeves, and I like the purple hair. The purple adds contrast to the image and character. Grey hair blends in with her head and makes it hardly noticeable. White hair blends in with her skin. Black hair blends in with her clothes. Also, Grey, White and Black would make the monochrome look too saturated. Having more input from others would be very helpful in this development. Mind offering some of your opinions, friends? :) |

Posted Image And here is the final update, all shaded and highlighted. Hex the Bat is one of my oldest Sonic fan characters, created not long after I made my Team Eclipse characters. At the time I can admit my imagination for designs were very poor, she just looked like a grey re-colour of Rouge the bat with less hair and wearing rags in an attempt to make her look like a witch. This update was sorely needed to not only distance herself from being a Rouge re-colour, but to also make her look "Prettier" and more interesting in appearance. I would like to thank my friends who not only help me develop her character over the years but also gave me advice and suggestions during this design update. Also added my recently designed Black Flame Cult Emblem to show her allegiance. Its based off my earlier design for the Order of the White Flame Emblem I did for Gem the Wolf. |
