Default 2D - hakubaikou - lifeless forest WIP


I've never actually posted a WIP at a forum like this before. (Then again, I've never ever joined a forum like this before, so....) I figure if I'm going to participate, I might as well go for the whole deal. I'm hoping to just have fun with this, challenge myself, and enjoy the experience.

This is my first sketch of my pic. I don't think you can tell just yet, but it's supposed to be a Fly Girl with her little maggot friends?/siblings? (giant maggots and regular sized ones) and some dead guy that they're feeding off of. Umm. Hopefully in an evil, yet innocent and charming way.

    Thank you.

    And yes, it feels like having guests show up before I've finished cleaning.

          cool subject,
          question: is this a single charcater
          or are there more fly people?

          would be nice to include another one showing
          some fly behavior like twisting it's head
          or cleaning it's jaws, maybe hunchover

          looking forward for more :-)

          Thanks very much for taking a look at my WIP, everyone.

          robogabo, thanks for that suggestion! Great idea. I'll try to stick another one in the background somewhere.

            Thank you, Piz.



            Okay, another draft. I've extended the canvas upwards just a tad.
