Summon Mana
This was done for RPGamer's OmniArt competition! The second round's theme was to change an RPG character into a summon creature or to redesign an existing summon creature. I chose Martel (Mana) from Tales of Symphonia and turned her into a dryad-ish summon. Her upper body is her humanoid character design, while her lower body is a tree. I would have liked to have her sprouting from the Great Seed and to have added leaves to her hair, maybe even some magical effects coming from her staff, but in the end, I was running out of time. The CGing was pretty rushed near the end as well so I could make the deadline. I wish her eyes turned out better and that her hair was more detailed, but I think it's probably the best action pose I've done thus far... I did enjoy working on this... ^-^
