Character Design
Test #1, Experimenting with brush/pencil tools.
to test the detail we could add, i drew the simple head of a dragon and a closer view of its eye which will become essental to our character's design.
test 2: this time around i chose to use only pencil and colour to truly bring the design to life.
the first designs began to take form for my character 'Hal' with a standard human/draconic mix of features. shading was an issue due to my lack of shading experiance but i continued non the less till i had the full idea drawn out.
after the first design of 'Hal' was complete, i wanted to alter the design more to be more expressive in emotion and improve shading.
for this, i chose to Redesign one of Hal's brothers 'San' to test and experiment with the new deign concepts and emotion ideas.
after several days and long nights, the concepts were complete with much success. the emotions were belivable and recognisable while giving the character a fresh new design that felt like it fit the character. The shading was also improved as well as the idea to replace the feathery wing design with a more traditional draconic design.
to test the emotions, I experimented with multiple positions and features to express the character's emotion.
the first test was a smirk/happy expression while the most recent was a more sad/Down expression.
after several days of careful designing and planning, a full body representation of the Character 'Hal' was eventually completed.
Bio contained a full representation of the updated wings, body and tail while also having a brief walkthrough of the character's description and characteristics.
