Alnilam is a character created from an idea of a character from the cosmic area. And over time I began to absorb references and add ideas to develop this character.
Process:
I had the idea in mind for a long time of making the character with this constellated skin, white hair and gold line art. I then had the idea of making a sort of cosmic elf wizard. When searching for references I found 2 types of gradients, purple going to red and purple going to blue, I was unsure which one to use and decided to use both. The hair was based on the reference, I thought it was really incredible and I wanted to use it. The staff was intended to be a fine accessory and to add to the idea of a wizard and a staff it was the best option. the book was to revisit the idea of the sorcerer.
