First sketch, maybe about an hour straight out of the dome with just the idea that I wanted to paint a Mage.
Timelapse of the process.
3D reference I made in Blender. Character from DAZ3D. Sculpted the cliff and made and simmed the clothes with a little bit of extra wrinkles sculpted on. With this many light sources the 3D reference was really helpful.
A wireframe from the viewport helped to align the designs on the skirt.
Some of the references used.
"The Bohiym nomads are not usually regarded as magic users and thus thought to be easy prey for their wealth. To the outside the Bohiym look like travelling dancers and musicians. Their simple nomadic life helps them keep a lot of their earnings and usually repurpose them into jewellery that they wear on their body."
Something that started as just a idea of a "mage" and went with it. Liked the sketch so much that decided to put a lot more effort into it, haha. Was quite a challenge with the multiple light sources. Hope you like it!
