Zodiak Army part two: >>>> please full view!!!!
Second drawing in my zodiak series: for details see the first one. The idea is that all these zodiak signs normally live apart and keep to themselves, because they have very different backgrounds. But now there is this threat they all share, an enemy they can only defeat by working together. It was inspired by exciting battle music from films like Pirates of the Carribean or Gladiator.

Leo:
She is a fire sign, full of passion, a natural leader, very powerfull. I thought of a sfinx, but added arms because otherwise she couldn't fight!! I made her a bit exotic (hot climate, sfinx= egypt etc.) and she turned out like a sort of bellydancer/warrior with lots of gold jewelry.

Aquarius:
She's an Air-sign, but her material is water (duh) so i had to combine them someway. She's a sort of sorceres, and 'floats' on her water in the air... She's very social and sharing, but also a bit of a loner, she holds her secrets to herself. I tried to put this in the design...

Leo and Aquarius are literally eachothers opposites, but i think they're equal in strenght. They make a good pair eh? There's more color and light in this one than the first one, which was a bit greyish, but these two signs just have to glow... in my opinion ;)

Thanks again to giselle who really helped me with aquarius... did research in books etc. O__o Thanks!!

Pencil and paper (A2!! was a disaster to scan :p) color and lighteffects in photoshop. Comments are very welcome!!

Really like how you are handling the Zodiak characters. Keeping them looking like they're from the ancient(sp) world. :)

Your musky lips, cramping smoke into halos,
love to finger obscenities and slander. I am a bitch now.
Don’t touch her now, this thing of waste. She’s
Empty. She’s full of spite.

A2?? o.O wow... I love how aquarius turned out XD and Leo looks like she'll rip apart anything in her way XD go Leo!

I can't do this all on my own.

Very awesome :) I really like the way you've done Aquarius, the soft extensions to her wings (yay headwings!) and water swirls really suggest the whole air aspect. Cute hat :)

Leo's a pretty cool design as well, I love the eyes in particular and she certainly looks like shes in control and means business. Seems in line with the Leo's I remember XD The only thing that makes me wonder is the arms, if they could do with being slightly more muscular, especially for a dual sabre wielding warrior.

I like how the nearly monochromatic colour schemes separate the two figures. You make such enchanting artwork ^_^
