I didn’t settle on a final design in my last batch of sketches so did another page to try and find an outcome I would be happy to move forward with. I decided to do a mash up of the two female designs I did last time. I feel like this direction took the best elements from all my designs so far.
Now that I had a finalised design I could work from, I created a polished illustration/ splash art of my character, sanding down any unnecessary detail and determining my colour palette.
From this I made detailed turnaround drawings – these will help me when I come to 3D modelling.
I settled on her name – Almena – after the ‘Almendro’, a tropical tree resilient to lightning strikes.
