Ideas of: Mystical traits and tattoos for healers. Holozing Contest

Hello to all my dear friends, I hope you are well wherever you are.
As always first of all I wish you all much success and prosperity.
It is a pleasure to be here in this community to participate in the traits contest for the Holozing game characters.

For this opportunity I made the water healer in my version. Here I just worked as a bust on top to make my idea known with the traits.

First everything started by having an idea, a very valid story that convinced me to work on it, in this case I chose the water healer. What I want to present to you is the part where these healers have mystical tattoos on parts of their body like arms, neck, chest, these tattoos should highlight their connection with the healing energy and their respective elements.

As in this case is the water healer I wanted to represent it, with tattoos with shapes of sea waves, water something similar to the Polynesian tattoos, these tattoos are still normal, but at the time of healing emit an illumination where it represents the strength they are giving to the creatures that are going to heal.

I am not an expert in digital designs, my thing is to make pencil and charcoal drawings, but I dared to make this character in manga style, I made my sketch in my digital version, I only worked with the upper part. I worked in layers, making the sketch of the face, neck and shoulder. On the face part I made a model of girl's eyes, kind of big and attractive, these are seen a lot in dramatic, school and fantasy genre manga. I also made some very closed eyes that I combined and gave results of different expressions.

Mouth:

For this one I made three types of mouths, one in a smiling shape, with teeth, in another I made another mouth like for when he is talking, and in the other I made the normal mouth where the shape of the mouth is highlighted.

Nose:
As for the nose I made two shapes one simplified, and one narrower.

In the part of the hair of this character I took it to a straight hair and very common in the manga, I made it short with somewhat thick strands to make the silhouettes and the shape of the hair. I also added shadows, and an accessory that the water healer wears on her head.

I know that I have to polish many things but I confess that this is my second digital work, I hope to continue learning and give better results, I hope to have made clear the idea of some features of the faces and the mystical tattoo, if you like the game designer is free to carry it out in the own version of the characters, this is an idea that I had in my mind for days just wanted to show it, I hope you liked it. I say goodbye to all of you wishing you the best in the world.
