3D Toolkit - New Character Concept and Mood Boards
I scrapped my original plan of modelling a jester. I really liked the idea at the start but I quickly lost interest in it. I don't want to model a design that I dislike as I'd find it difficult to motivate myself. I know that starting again will put me behind so I'll have to alter my plan accordingly. Once I've thumbnailed and designed my character, I plan on creating a gantt chart or a similar way of project managing to help me plan around the time I have left for this project.
New Character Concept
I can't really afford to make up a concept and discard it again like my last one. As a result, I decided to create a new outfit and appearance for a pre -existing character of mine that I very much enjoy drawing. He was designed for a dungeons and dragons campaign initially so his original design focuses on that fantasy setting. This is the original appearance and mood board I used to design his current appearance.
The outfit and appearance changes I will be making, will reflect his appearance post campaign. This gives me a chance to change his design based on events that happened during the campaign. For example, he was attacked by a dragon which led to him getting a scar on his left eye. At the end of the campaign, he ended up working for the god of life and death. This is very similar to the role of the grim reaper so I wanted to bring some aspects of this into his new outfit. In his original design, I regret not including a lot of design elements that reflected the appearance of his warlock patron. Due to this, his new outfit will mainly consist of inspiration of plague doctors as well as the grim reaper.
Visual Research
I created a pinterest board to help me find some ideas for his updated outfit and appearance.
