Main Character design

Here is my Initial Ideas. These are just a collection of the words that I wanted to bring to my character, and also that fit with the theme.














This is a visual brainstorm of the kind of textures and materials that I had in mind for my character. Mainly a mechanical military theme.










Here are the initial sketches, inspired from the brainstorming process.





















Another sketch sheet, developing the armor and experimenting with different styles. This was really a chance for me to put my idea onto paper and allow the development to begin.




















I then went onto creating a few armor sets, I experimented with the two main colour themes I thought of working for my character. I ended up sticking to the chrome tones, because the colour was too distracting, and didn't match the characters persona.




















These are a few sketches with a cloak as the addition. Also setting he character in his own environment, and gathering a better idea of his world.

However I found the cloak to be too masking and made the character too mysterious.

These are the final images I came up with, there was a considerable amount of development in this process and I feel that I may have spent too much time perfecting the final image, rather than explaining the process. I need to adapt to putting my ideas on paper, instead of developing the idea within my head.
