Character Concept Progress

Now that the Uni year has truely kicked off it was time to start our first module of which consists of gathering up knowledge and data from things around us in order to create a character and environment for said character to inhabit. Sounds easy enough but its surprisingly difficult when you think you have a sterling idea only to find out that its already been done before.

My gatherings at first mainly consisted of anthropomorphic animals, sporting armour, clothing and other gadgets.

Vulture Priest

Armoured Bear (Close)

Armoured Bear (Far)

Cyber Great White

Cyber Hammerhead

This first idea then developed into an egyptian God theme, following a pattern of Animal headed humans, eg: Falcon headed God, Horus. My own designs shown below.

Bear Warrior

Snow Ram Prince

Anubis Escort

However after gathering more pictures and piecing together my thoughts my character developed into a somewhat more sinister one by taking a new route into Masked Humans. The following are concepts of some masked characters, aswell as my first attempt at using Photoshop to create concept art for my characters mask.

Masked Titain/Brute

Masked Dancer

Masked Warrior

Under The Mask (Rough Sketches)

At this time in the module I am in the process of giving my character an Archetype and filling in more character sheets for it in order to provide a greater understanding of the character itself and the world in which it lives. All in all I dare say its coming along nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing how my thoughts and findings progress over the next few weeks.
