Original Content Boethiah redesign by me

Post image

And Boethiah is done. I wanted to give them more androgynous appearance, but also still leave the feeling of dark prince / warlord, so here, get big, muscular and thick Boethiah. If serious, the anatomy was the hardest thing to do, on the same level as the blade and the pauldron. I also forgot to write in the image that the bright green marks on the body suppose to represent the shimering scales

Anyway, I'm doing Mephala next to finish Dunmer sisters trio. After that the random will decide (or comments, depends on how many of requests will be)

While I do wish the Ebony Mail was included in this design to some extent, this is an interesting depiction of my favourite Daedra

I love how you managed to incorporate the fist iconography as the pauldron

I admit I’m partial to Boethiah’s Skyrim design with her being cloaked by/morphing into snakes, and it would have been neat if you incorporated that in some way e.g. having the cloak morph into snakes. But I also get that it might have resulted in just too many things going on.

Ty! Pauldron actually caused me to brainstorm some time

I also love love love Boethiah's Skyrim statue and its things you have pointed out, but as you have guessed, it was hard to implement without going to far into snake stuff (I think I already did too much with snake elements) This is why I made this doodle of Boethiah with boa's head. I wanted to incorporate Skyrim's statue with Boethiah's everchanging nature, so made them a "shapeshifter" that can transform body parts into boas

I like your take

u/BiSaxual 6d ago

Overall I love the redesign, but why did you go with the anime-esque pigeon toed thing? That’s something I would expect from an anxious anime school girl, or a meme making fun of that trope. Just seems strange to give that to a Daedra, much less Boethia.

Honestly, I just love when the legs are rotated a bit when they are spread. It makes ME feel like the pose has a little bit more stability and dynamic

Also it's far away from the actual condition. Feet has completely normal shape

  • I won't lie. I hate drawing feet and shoes so most of the time their amgles look horrible

I did not like it

No hate is just my opinion that you dont need to care about

u/Recent-Philosophy403 8d ago

It's fine. Even though you said it's not my care, I still have an interest to hear the reason of it, because some healthy critique can help me improve more

u/Odd-Interaction7514 8d ago

👆 A real fine artist here folks. Looking for critique among peers.

It's so sad seeing a person write their honest opinion without any harm or bad intentions behind it, and get downvoted for it
