Julian Devorak Route - Blog Posts

(Realized I uploaded the original art with the wrong fonts. Many apologies. Anyway let me try again.) Introducing my first of the three apprentices I made for The Arcana. Her name is Saranna Kallima and she’s the Apprentice I made for Julian’s route. This was my first time making digital art in Photoshop and I hope I did decently with both the art and her design. While her major design influence was Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) I took inspiration from many things in pop culture ranging from anime, video games, movies and cartoons. (Ex. her hair design is a reference to Father Abel Nightroad from Trinity Blood, Jedi Padawan apprentice braids from Star Wars and Princess Elyon’s hair braids from W.I.T.C.H.) I could write down all the pop culture refrences in her design but I’ll save that for another post. I hope you all enjoy Saranna and my attempts at digital art.

Process: Pencil Sketch, 2D Photo Scan, Adobe Photoshop CC 2018
