Norux Red Mage sketch

Ahaha, yes! His hair! It finally worked! I forgot to add on here that not only did I look at BrutalMoose's hair to create this, but Norux himself has a turnaround that I semi-used this time? But oh my gosh it felt so nice to actually get done with this bit!

From here out, I'm going to touch on how the Red Mage in FFXIV looks to see what would fit and how/if certain bits will work. The character seems perfect for him so I look forward to playing.

There's another thing that must be shared too. This one isn't at all my own, it's EmKay's video and Damien as the host. Definitely go back and watch this whole video but here, listen to Damien just melt down into the Gigglefit That Heals All and allow this to reach your heart and help your day!

Sketching Norux!

Had the idea to put my volcano elemental (Norux) in a Red Mage's costume from FFXIV. Haven't gotten his hair or hat on him yet, but this is great at the second!

Nose seems to be a little wonky to me but who cares? XD Norux's going to make a great Red Mage for this sketch and I can't wait to get a full body sketch drawn and painted, once I figure out how to draw up that hat.
Most important at the second seems to be to put his hair on him so the hat will look right. I've been watching Kirsty Partridge Art's "How to Draw Hair for Beginners" video because I like how she makes it all come out. This seems to make a bit more sense than how I currently do hair...wonder if it's possible to make it work without the drawing staring straight forward?

In theory, of COURSE one should be able. But it is all me right now, too. (All for fun in this case!)
