Another piece influenced by my travels to Mexico, Guadalupe was such an inspirational religious figure and I wanted to her image with a ‘day of the dead’ style.

A little bit of the Elements

August 27, 2014Character Design, Fanartdigitalart, fanart, illustrationrach

Inspired by an anime series called ‘Legend of Korra’; I created my own ‘Water-bender’. Named Kesuka, which means Watery Sky, she is able to manipulate the element of water. It’s a bit geeky but I love it.
