Concept Designs
Water Lotus.
The motive behind designing this type of character was; ‘What would a flower look like, as a human’. I researched water based flowers initially so I could challenge myself with liquids and textures; I found the Lotus flower. It was ideal for studying pond wildlife, textures in vegetation and how small creatures interact with one another. This allowed me to try new brushes I had never used before! Made with Procreate.
Tech DJ
The main theme I explored for this piece was ‘Cyber’ and ‘Tech Wear’. Having a general interest in street wear and tech wear, I researched fashion trends and outfit designs. From there, I created a character with loose clothing, music driven and wild; who runs and underground club as a DJ. This helped me expand my knowledge of textures in thick, afro like hair and explore new pose dynamics.
Owl Knight
In the midst of playing RPGs and Fantasy style games, I wanted to explore my own concept of what a knight would look like. One of the games I played, called ‘Eastshade’ inspired the exploration into anthropomorphic beings, where I chose a great horned owl. Typically light coloured, I ended up creating this character around the theme of a light paladin/knight with a spear to reflect its long sightedness and planned attacks. This helped challenge me with learning about painting armour textures, feather textures and avian anatomy.
