Soulmate
Sometime before the ThunderCats existed, Rankin-Bass started with a mini-series called TigerSharks: a group of space policemen who came to an aquatic world to protect it from attacks by evil mutants. Any resemblance to the Thundercats or the Silverhawks is not a coincidence since all three properties belong to the same company.
What caught my attention is that among the villains, there was just one single female character: Soulmate, the Mankiller.
And that, coupled with the fact that she is an extremely skilled swordfighting woman, made me select her for the next illustration in my series "Forgotten Women of the '80s Cartoons"
Do you remember her? Soulmate was Captain Bizzarly's right hand, and probably the only intelligent and capable member of his crew.
As the modeling and color procedure is practically the same as in other of my 3D illustrations, this time instead of explaining how Soulmate's body was made, I will show you how the background is created.
Each new element that is added to the composition must be accompanied by its respective shadow and volume, which must also coincide in tone with Soulmate's body.
Ok guys, Soulmate is finished. As usual, my Patrons will get a hi-res copy and psd file.
