Description Finally decided to upload this. I was originally going to sell her design to anyone who'd be interested but I had a feeling no one would really want it for anything so I waited to upload this until I'd made her sufficiently sell-able but then didn't! So this is somewhat old and that wait was pointless. This was one of the last things that I made last semester at MICA for my concept art class (Can't believe I go back in just over a week, you can hear my sobbing from space). The journey of this image is pretty staggering. If you rummage through my FB page you'll find it. It's...kind of horrifying, so if you don't want to that's totally fine by me! The end product definitely showcases a lot of what I've learned, though.

I kept the product she's from and who she is at the bottom though, because I feel like the text kind of balances the image out?

Anyway, if you guys took note of my Gatsby image, this is from a very similar project, just...round two! This time with a group. I pray to the gods I never have to do a half-semester-long project with any other artist at MICA ever a-fucking-gain. Sorry, can't really be nice about it, the project was hell. Like the Gatsby project we had to choose a story and revamp it into a new genre. We chose Alice in Wonderland, and then switched the genre into gritty, post-apocalyptic sci-fi. So, Alice here is a fighter pilot (a fighter, pilot, and a fighter pilot 8D). She uses her fists to fight and her mech's fists to fight. I didn't make the mech so I'm not uploading that, my other helpful teammate made that.

Mmm....guess that's all I have to say?
I know it's a lot, ha!
these days I usually feel like I'm talking to an empty room.

fdhsjgdhfg thanks gurl!
<33

Haha, yesyes it's fur! Could be rabbit or mink or whatever but it's definitely fur. For the gloves definitely rabbit, but not sure about the coat since the whole inside of it is lined. So many dead rabbits...
(so many important dead characters huhuhu ifyaknowwhatImean)

(the nail polish was such a derpy addition considering she's a fighter but i couldn't not put it in xD)

(and the facial expression is thanks to my teacher x.x)

Ugh.  I thought group projects were unnecessary for art.  I mean sure I get them every friggin year with my psychology major and that sucks enough but with art I have a harder time functioning, especially with a person that contributes very little or hardly shows up. DX  But you did well with this.  I like the story too. Looking forward to seeing more!

Haha, I understand group projects in the sense that they prepare you for the working world, but I would much rather do a group effort with people I...respect?
I only really felt like maybe 4 other students in the class really cared, and one of them was definitely not in my group, though the other was. If I have to work with people in a group I'd much rather it be with people who inspired me. One group member of mine was helpful and inspiring but...ugh

I get that.  If it's someone you respect I guess it's not that bad (though I still prefer to work alone).  It's good you got one person your respect though.  That's always good.  I guess I've been traumatized with groups due to a few particular incidences, I'm trying to get over that now.  So I guess if you do have some people you respect it could be fun.  Were you allowed to pick your group (doesn't sound like it but I thought I'd ask)?
