Character Design [TASK 1]

INSTRUCTIONS :

TASK 1 : PERSONAFICATION

in this module, we are expected to make a character design. Ms Annis brief us the introduction to the module. The character design must be from an existing franchise but i didn't quite remember about it so i ended up designing the character first.

The character was an old OC i have when i was 12, the drawing was destroyed but i clearly remember she have a TV head and i started to work on the first draft and redesign her a bit and put some mood boards.

after some feedback i made more moodboards to have a clear direction and decided the series to be arknights but i still want the face hidden feature so i compile some more.

My character (Volna) is a highschooler who joined the Rhodes Island after her school and hometown got attacked

after that i started making some gesture sketches along with some initial designs for her, her main weapon will be an axe similar to Zima from Arknights. but first i made the gestures and shilloutte

after that i continue making the design variation and i decided to make different types of face covering for her since it's her trademark.

after the feedback i recieved it's best to go with number 1, 3 or, 5 and i went with number 5. Next we are expected to make a turn around for the character.

After that, im free to continue what im doing and make a grayscale version of my character. i didnt polish it enough and im still working on the value and try some colors and clothes variation for the development.

since im using this character for anatomy and sculpture, i recieve a feedback from Mr Kanaan for her leg and i polished the grayscale drawing along with making the final reference

Presentation :

REFLECTION :

Experience : 

i started to get early and done my drafts first instead of doing my moodboard and concepts but i ended up doing both in the next few days anyway, overall it's fun to come up with such different concepts for a character

Observation : 

i dont have a good memory to remember what i should do first, but based on the project itself i can get started and find my way to make it

Findings :

i find myself looking through all of these refrences, palletes and the concept im aiming in pintrest, google, etc

i think it's always a must(?) if you want to make a character, you must have a clear refrence used
