Character Development

Character development

 

During this project one of the main aspects was the creation of our character in other posts i explained about my players world, his powers and how my player ultimately fits in the this post apocalyptic planet. So throughout this post i will show you my initial sketches for what my character will look like i will also say what i liked and didn't like about how he looked so enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first initial sketch i made him look more western looking with the bullet belts around his chest and old western type hat i liked that the character could easily fit into my world because he does look well equipped and with his tattered clothes that indicates that he has been in this environment for a while and will know how to survive. But i don't like the fact he looks too normal this man is the main character on a game yet he looks like an average Joe which is why i went with a different idea.

 

 

This is my second design i chose a more armoured stormtrooper type character is someone playing this game were to see this player without the outside world they would think the land would be pretty vicious. I like that this character looks heavily armoured but still looks like he can be agile in a fight the thing i don't like about this is it doesn't look realistic it looks too futuristic for my characters time so i tried another design.

 

This was my 3rd design i made him look slightly armoured with shoulder guards giving him some protection and also the device on his arm could protect him to some extent but this device is mainly used to channel his powers and to make them more powerful he also has a helmet to protect his face and to help him breathe in hazardous areas. What i like about this design is that he has something tailor made for him and this world he has the device on his arm that uses his powers for what ever test that faces him but i still don't like the fact he looks normal he doesn't look 'badass' enough yet so i tried another

This is my final design I decided that since my player had joined a spec ops/ guerrilla attack type force called the rangers he should look like a ranger so i went with the classic Lord Of The Rings/ Robin Hood type cloaks that have a hood and long cape attached. I then gave him an armoured stomach plate that will give a lot of his midsection protection but will still allow him to be very agile in battle allowing him to move faster he has a big bandage on his arm the is not because of an injury this is because the rangers weapon of choice is a bow they use it because it is almost silent and ammo is east to make and retrievable the bandage on his arm is to stop the bot string hitting him and cutting his arm. As you can see the patterns on his clothes are elvish inspired to give his clothes more meaning they could be elvish writing or symbols it could even been his rank in the rangers.

 

 

 

 

 

So there are all my designs with why i liked them and why i didn't and in the next post i will show you how i turned my paper artwork into sculpting artwork.
