continuation of Day of the Dead…

Well here is the almost finalized concept…I will be submitting it to friends for feedback and see what I can do with the feedback :)

Series: Day of the Dead Character Concepts

My next project is to redesign my Tribal Warrior Character.  I wasnt sure at the time what direction I was heading style wise.  I did not want her to reflect any current “blue” skin toned characters but instead to set her apart.  In doing so I have decided to make a male version as well to better captivate the power between both.  This is a work in progress concept below…

Day of the Dead – quickSketch

Before Halloween I came up with this quick sketch for my costume.  So I was a Day of the Dead/Sims character.   I decided this would be a great theme for my “Tribal Warrior” character that is in WIP.

Inspiration after playing Borderlands

After playing co-op in Borderlands 2 I felt a huge inspiration to work with Sculpey clay again.  So I added a few touches of my other favorite game Bioshock and got the following results.

I first sketched out my ideas then followed that with wire armature.  Once I sculpted the models and textured/detailed then it was baking time.  During that time I began to get my color palette ready with acrylics.

Testing :)

So this is the first phase of what will be a continous flow of artwork and to help show my process as well.
