Visual Language- Study Task 2 - Captain Character- Original Character

Original Character

After being given this brief, I quickly designed a character i thought i liked. I really liked that the backstory made him a mean character as i had never done a character like that before so it let me see what other characteristics i could explore. After thinking about doing a large project like this with him being the only character however, made me think of doing another i would be more interested in for a longer period and would be more interested in.

The reason i think i felt like i wanted to go another way with this brief would be that i thought i could do better, i was fine with the story and body but as soon as i added the face to the design, i really didn't like how he had turned out.

I think on this next character i will plan a lot more towards getting to this stage so i will do more designs on body shapes, head shapes and facial features.
