Compositional sketches.
At the last — behind the wing of Meridia, I even thought of showing the host of Aurorans, and in her hand she held the Dawnbreaker.
But alas, this idea remained unfulfilled. Perhaps - later)
In the end, the first sketch in this block was chosen as the final one, I decided to use about this kind of composition. True, the wings did not form such a dense ring, and the burning undead was placed higher.
Sketches of Meridia's costume. Apparently - I even thought to give her hood the details of the helmets of her warriors.
In general, the theme of crystals, or color mosaic, was in my head all the time, and as a result it was realized.
This is the fourth drawing of the first block and the third from the second block. On the second - the warriors of Meridia are again depicted at her right hand. I think it will be necessary to draw later on to Meridia and its faithful warriors of light!
Sketches of the heads of the Aurorans in their light armor.
