1. Production
I started by drawing a basic pose to add onto progressively
After obtaining a pose I liked, I began to add detail into it, i.e armour,
colour and background
After finishing the draft
drawing, I created a draft
illustration, a rough idea
of what the final product
would have been like

2. I then got photos of myself standing in the same pose, holding onto a
short ruler to act as a dagger template in the later product
I photoshopped images of heavy armour that I could find closest to
what I’d sketched
After adding the final parts of armour and a background similar to
what I’d hoped for, I begun tracing over myself in illustrator, making
progress with the character first.

3. After finishing the drawing of the character, I begun to add the
background, trying to contrast between the lighter colours on the
left and the dark reddish colours to the right, and both the sides
being split by the stream of water which runs into the blinding light
