Final Concept Piece

So I have decided that I liked my second concept piece a lot more than the first one i had originally done. So I decided to draw it digitally so that i had a reference to work off from when it got to sculpting the character.

Below is a side by side comparison of the traditional and digital art piece that I have done.

I changed up the character when drawing it in Photoshop. This was mainly to do with the colours I had available in Photoshop compared to the colours I have in the traditional media. The skin colour was a big thing that I had to change as the skin wasn’t as pale as I would have liked it to have been when drawing her with pencils.  I also decided to make the hair a lot darker so that it  stood out more than everything else.

Overall I prefer my digital version as it looks a lot better than what I had done on paper.

 

Second Concept Piece

I designed another character so that i had two options to choose from. I tried to make each character different but there were certain aspects I wanted to keep the same, such as the colour scheme and her magical background.

This time i went into design something that didn’t need the use for a weapon because she could use magic with out it. Hence this character design becoming a sorceress instead of a wizard.

One of the main things I kept from the previous designs were the drooping sleeves as I felt that they would go well with what I am trying to design

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got a lot of inspiration from the image to the left. I really like how the armor looked on the shoulders as well as how it went around the hip too. I also really like how the boot turned into straps at the top of the leg, however I felt like this would fit the design i already had going on and change it into a boot and fish net tights.

First Concept Piece

So for our next unit, We have to design a character and then sculpt it in zbrush. I have decided to stick with the elven theme that we had done for our animation unit.

 

This was my first concept design. I wanted my character to be a moon elf so I focused the colour scheme to be blacks and blues to represent this.

Also with this design i decided to give her a staff and something to channel her magic through , making her more of a wizard.

 

 

 

 

I based my characters dress on this image that i found online. I really liked the shorter dress and the separate corset and shoulder piece.
