For this weeks contest I have decided to go with the corrupted Pegasus. This is the first time I have ever done this character, it is also the first time I am using a completely different style.
I used this image as my reference image. Then it was time to go to work.
I started out with this really cool winged Pegasus that I had in my library
I painted the model so that it would more closely match my reference image
I still needed to give the image a little pop, so I used this really cool online picture editor, which contains dozens of filters to alter the image.
Once I saw the good results, I went back to the original model and gave it a different pose. Then I used another paint program to add a few finishing touches, like the purple energy coming off the horn and the red eyes.
