Visual Language- Study Task 2 - Captain Character- Character Details and Body shapes

Captain Character

The brief of Captain Character was to design and create a character but i had a change of heart with my last one so i fully started again and this was the new story and person i thought of doing. I have always loved period characters so i was eager to start designing and creating this character as she is a warrior from the 14th century called Andromeda Perseus. For this i did the same page where i looked at the characters age, name, job, backstory and personality but also what type of character i have created. These all go towards people understanding the character and help me to remember key things about her and bring them across to her personality and looks.
These two pages i have done are for the testing of body shapes, these were all the possible shapes of my character from taking basic shapes and adding them to a human shapes form. These were very useful as i had not decided the shapes yet and needed to experiment with what i could do. I ended up going with the second to last design as i wanted my character to be buff as she was a warrior and i didn't was to sexualise her at all but i also wanted her torso to be slightly longer as she is short but with lots of muscle.

These were testing where the body and torso's should end and length's of the body sections so i could see proportions until i found one i preferred. They were only small changes but i could see a clear difference as some legs were too long, for some the body was too small and for some the body was too wide. This is why i went for the 3rd design as she was just big enough to look like a warrior amazon woman which is what i wanted her to be.
