Maleficent (Maleficent Mistress of Evil) WIP 2

I want the composition of this piece to be something special. The idea is that Maleficent is soaring free through the sky, something that we only get to see at the end of the original movie. This is a relaxed almost lazy kind of pose. This isn’t her flying into battle this is just her flying because flying is fun. To that end her back is softly arched and her wings are spread out in an almost backflip kin of maneuver.

I’m admittedly not the best at architecture but I had to throw something like that in there. She needs to be somewhere between earth and sky with a lot of that sky adding a brightness to the piece. By contrast she is going to be fairly dark. Her wings, hair and outfit are going to be in shades of black, meanwhile Maleficent herself will be fairly pale. I want to do a lot to play with dark and light in this image. Maybe I’ll have the sun coming up over the mountain.
