Widowmaker first look reveal! [Widowmaker pt.1]

Hello my Sweethearts!

I wanted to thank everyone of you, who enjoyed my first look on Lodge of Sorcerers. And especially for kind words )
Since we are on sweetest time of every week - weekends, I wanted to show you something gorgeous and interesting!
Let me share with first look of our Widowmaker. And with this photo I officially announce what part I chose to work on first, let's name it "Widowmaker pt.1 Nowdays". )
As we all know, this character has very sad origin story. How beautiful and full of love was she at the beginning, transformed in to cold weapon of Talon.
That's why it is only natural to make "dark themed look" on post-production step. Before starting preparations to this project, I looked through many great and not so photoshoots on internet. I noticed that, most of photoshoots, show perfectly her "badass" and "dangerous" side of being silent assassin, who she is. Or just results of hard work of cfraftsman who made the costume (or of the cosplayer).
And was thinking hard on what and how I can show more of her or her other sides.

After finishing with my research, I decided on several key points for our project:
1. Enough with dangerousness. It is time to show her as professional. Who enjoys her work. And knows how to rest if was exposed. )
2. Choose colors for background light same as used in neon light signboards. Our assassin is sniper, who prefers highground, roofs and darkness. Acording to films and cartoons, what can be found on roofs in big cities? Big Signboards, which can light up everything around.
3. More natural skin tone. In game design shows her just purple-blue -ish. Which may look surreal in real life, if taken too far.
In my next post only for my Patron friends, I'll share on how this shot was done and  how it looked before post-production works.
4. Darkness doesn't mean seriousness.

Hope you'll like first result of our Widowmaker. It was hard photoshoot to work on the set, due to interrior of our location ( it was a bit different than we expected) and just tiredness. Not sure why we all felt bad that day. Maybe high pressure drop due to weather change or long trip to location made its mark. )

Have a great Day and take proper care of your health! )
