Hello again all. Since you were so wonderfully helpful last post, I thought I would throw this out there.
I am trying to come up with a way to subtly express a telepathic inquisitor’s power. Currently the only thing I have come up with is using what follows. (I had to crop this as the image is based on character from TV so I think that breaks the rules for posting.) I’ve included a close up and what it would like like from the full shot. I also included samples of the yellow and blue color schemes for comparison.
The problem is I’m not sure if its bold enough to come across or if its too subtle. I thought about rings around the head but that seems too blatant and over-the-top comic (this is more fantasy art look than supers comic, at least if I do well enough).
How would You express such a power? I’m curious to know how some of you long time experts would do it.
Thanks.
Here are a couple of ideas. Items in “Right Hand’/”Energy” , “Background” or “Backplane”/ “Auras” can be used. Make the colors fully trans. or partly trans.
Would something like this work?
If so, it can be achieved by masking a gradient circle (color1 and line color transparent with color2 in color you wish) masked onto an energy effect (Color1, Color2, and Line color all transparent).Thank you one and all.
Hammerknight: The forehead rings might work. That’s a good idea.
Vampyrist: Thats a cool combination of effects, though I get more of a kind of smoky residue after an energy blast kind of feel from it. However, it gives me some ideas for mixing elements.
Kaldath: I’m still very new here so when you say zypping, you mean just the use of a gradiant circle in a “glow-like” color correct? Like the eye on Vampyrist’s sample?
Livewyre: Having scene the face, I take it you are saying its too expression neutral? You’d try to find a way to make the face more expressive, like more in concentration?
Herr D: Ok I’m going to take a chance here since I can’t really find anything that says the style this is based on is copyrighted and there are tons of nockoff costumes in RL out there, so… If a mod needs this taken down just go ahead and do it or let me know and I can take it down.
This is the full body shot of what I have so far.
PS: I really need to rework the boots as well since they don’t seem to fit the body even though if I shrink them any more the legs show.
So how is this for a facial redesign?
As to the “power expression”, would a “third eye” centered just above her eyes and done in the same transparent blue of the current expression work better?
