Ra concept rough draft

Much thanks to littlesinner for telling me how to make this transparent. Looks much better now.

Basically I hace a character rolling around in my head birthed from the sun and stars, was going to do an all white glowy look, but I like the little lights bursting through the dark skin idea more I think.

The set would probably be orca mask, Venetian carnival antlers and nightfall pelt.

I'll line this and do something nicer with it later.

------------------------
Threw together a lighter version. The original idea was based off the sun, not space, but I like both directions.



kinda girly but hey.

-----------------------
This one is more space-y



aesthetically speaking the last two are most appealing to me, color scheme and design wise. I think space-y pants up there is the nicest to look at, but I really was hoping to take this in a lighter direction, seeing as "Ra" is Egyptian sun god, not space god. haha

Ahh this is very pretty. For some reason my favorite things are the antlers, you drew them lovely.
I adore the markings!

Oh and do you use Gimp? If you do, save as .psd in Sai and open file again with Gimp, then delete white layer and save as .png.

Thank you very much! I think

Thank you very much!

I think I'm gonna amp up the markings x10000000

I'm really fond of having little pinpoints and stars bursting and steaming through the dark fur (which I might not keep blue, idk) so when I get around to actually putting time into this I think I'm going to make it more detailed.

Usually I like super super simple designs but that's mostly because I'm lazy.

I knooooowww and I'm sooooo lazy ugh.

I'll probably do the pinpricks in semi-rows, or at least line them up a little, if I made it totally random I would most likely die.

Oh neat concept! Interested

Oh neat concept! Interested to see where it'll be going! I like the glowy smoke a lot actually. It's a nice contrast with the dark pelt.

Ah thank you! It's so subject

Ah thank you! It's so subject to change right now it's almost rude to call this a rough draft. Basically I doodled off a Chital photo and was like "yes. I will use this."
