Overview
More a change in dynamics than a brand new creature - a hunter and a werewolf working together to hunt beasts.
I looked into Andrew Mar's ink style for this as a more viable alternative to Natalie Hall, as it seemed more doable. He has a skill for placing shadows in the ideal place in lineart drawings and it gives the image a great deal of impact.
Research
- Andrew Mar's instagram
- Bloodborne hunters (images)
- Humans posed facing away (image references for proportions)
- Wolves snarling (images)
The idea was already fairly solid, and explored in previous sketches. These were to find a viable pose to display the relationship between the hunter and his acquired pet.
Chosen pose. They would fight at close quarters, with the werewolf lunging and being pulled back. The chain would eventually snap, so the werewolf would attack with claws from one side, and the hunter would use the remaining chain as a whip. The hunter's design is worn and ragged, showing his strength in surviving his monstrous pet.
Reflection
- Gives a variety of line-widths to make the image more interesting
- Can give a suggestion of shadows
- Time-consuming, gives neat line-art
- Took a while to find the pose, silhouettes are extremely useful in that regard
- Waste of time if the final pose looks off or wrong
