White Mage - Vespertine

The White Mage I drew for my character design challenge ^^.

For now all the details regarding the challenge are at my Tumblr, but I'll be sure to share them on here soon.

This character is inspired by Bjork’s Vespertine album, which is complex combination of sweet wintery chimes, and sensuousness enforced by deep beats and lyrics. I seriously taste snow flakes in my mouth when I listen to Vespertine. I decided the White Mage, coupled with a revealing outfit would provide an adequate visual metaphor for my personal definition of the album’s sound.

The outfit was shamelessly inspired by Bjork’s Swan dress, which she wears on the cover of the album. The color direction I followed for this illustration is allusive to the video Pagan Poetry, one of my favorite songs.
