This one screams at me for a cartoony approach. Is there a problem in this activity with going outside the boundaries of strictly realistic?

Use any style you feel fits the brief

Not sure where the idea of keeping to realism comes from, but unless the brief specifically states a certain stylistic approach, it's open.

In this case, there are no specifications, other than the generalized character description, so you're encouraged to explore, try something new, and most important, have fun with this!

Best,
~Shane

Well you did say "open round" in your first post but, yes, I am planning to tinker around with a new program I just got. I decided to make sure I wouldn't get in trouble for making her look like one of those animated M&Ms or something.

    Hey netocg,

    She needs to be a "Zombie Werewolf Witch." The rest is wide open. That is to say, she can actually *be* a zombie werewolf witch, or she can be dressed *as* a zombie werewolf witch, or some other combination. But her character needs to exhibit traits of all three, including a girl of indeterminate age - somewhere from child through teen. Hope that helps!

    Best,
    ~S

        My guess is that you are probably referring to "Negral 3D" by Blaze which is the thumb next to the thumb advertising Meg the zombie Werewolf witch. hover your pointer over the image and the title and author pops up.

          Default Meg The Zombie Werewolf Witch


          Posting a quick concept sketch of Meg The Zombie Werewolf Witch - I'd like to have fun with this character and go for more stylized design.

          This is my initial concept and might tweak it along the way. Cheers
          ^_^

          I know I blew the foreshortening on her leading arm but here is a start.

          Never mind .pdf is not a valid file type.
