-------------------------------------------
Ranni is a duo series with Malenia. The composition is very similar intentionally only mirrored! I still broke some things up with some differences so it wasn't hopefully too explicitly obvious but a lot of the same interworkings are in Ranni as they are Malenia as a small art series.
I have this problem where I want to polish stuff way too much. and when I say that I'm not talking about "make unimportant parts less rendered and focus more rendered" naw. (tho that is true and I follow it) but rather what I mean is... I see Artists with very loose styles and it looks SO cool. and So I tried to hold myself back on this one a bit and allow it to show brush strokes. that it's ok if there's intentionally sketchy and rough parts. and I think it still came out just as great. If anything. I think it has more textures with the piece and gives it more life by letting things be "Loos" (different than not/less rendered) and it looks great and redered even with it! so I think I'm gonna keep exploring this.
I ended up finishing the piece only to strongly dislike the more stylized cartoonish face I gave Ranni. It didn't feel like it LOOKED like her. so I went ahead and redid it. (totally forgetting to record the sketching process oops) and she looked much more like the character even in my style. Plus for Elden Ring-- Semi Realism just seems to fit better to express the fannart and will match my Malenia piece more as well! So pretty happy with that chance.
SPOILERS: LORE SHIT
I wanted to put a lot of elements of Lore in this one. So I have the Ring you give her if you do her quest. The Dark Moon of her ending (and her ultimate end goal) The stolen Curse mark of the piece of The Rune of Death that she stole to put into the Black Knife. In which she gave to the Black Knight Assassins on the "Night of the Black Knives" that she coordinated to kill Godwyn and her mortal body to free herself from the greater will's fate/destiny. (The Death mark broke in the ritual but it's all symbolic so I used the mark/piece she is most assosiated with in the game. such as how you give it to Ragiar after you get it from Ranni's dead body) And then the crystals are GlintStone crystals from Liurnia where she's from. And the white droopy flowers are Glovewart. Which is assosiated with spirits and summoning spells and puppets etc which the Carians (Ranni's family) are very much versed in such magics of flintstone. Stars. Puppets. and spirits. And a Crystal bud for the same reasons! So all elements from the game! Super fun. There was so much I could work with for Ranni. From Blidde. The spirit wolves and the bell she gives you etc. The Knife used to kill her (but I wanted to show that she lead the night of the black Knives. so I went with the Black Knife assassins blade to show that pivital point in her story) Anything with the Nox--- MY GOODNESS there is so much lore entertwined with Ranni. -- I could have put in so much more but hahah I can only shove so much into a piece without overcrowding it.
With this Channel reboot I think I'm kinda figuring out my esthetic. I'm still kinda working on it but I think this is like the closest I've gotten so fa. Honestly I might change my old thumbnail for Malenia to a similar set up as this one haha kinda wish I waited to figure this vibe out before making her speedpaint XD oh well hahah! that's growth I suppose!
Ranni doesn't have any music of her own :V so I didn't really know what to use. So unstead I used OST from...:
- Elden Ring OST: Academy of Raya Lucaria
- Elden Ring OST: Renna Queen of the Full Moon (Ranni's Mother)
- Dark Souls II : Majula (slowed down to match the key of the Academy music)
