This piece was created for an ILM art challenge on ArtStation. I designed the character with a video game progression system in mind.
She starts as a Rebel grunt, advances to Rebel lieutenant, then becomes a Jedi apprentice. Eventually, she rises to Jedi Master before ultimately turning to the dark side as a Sith Lord.
ILM actually sent me an email complimenting my work and suggesting we should work together in the future!!
I created this piece with the goal of building a portfolio specifically tailored for Magic: The Gathering. I found one of their design briefs online and intentionally chose not to reference the official card art. Instead, I followed the brief closely, and this is the result.
My intention was to demonstrate my ability to follow direction and work effectively from a brief, rather than submitting artwork based solely on personal preference. Additionally, I wanted to show that I can work respectfully and creatively with their characters and intellectual property.
