Character thumbnails 1

Here are a few character thumbnails from class today, Mostly pretty evil looking characters as Ive been looking at the grim reaper for inspiration. I also researched into other religions such at Egyptians who believed in a god called Anubis who weighs souls against a feather to see if they are heavy with sin or not and then takes them to the afterlife so i had the idea of showing the jackal type character with rotting flesh with bones showing and linen bandages wrapped around the body so it almost looks like a mummy itself. I also was quite fond of the idea of the angel of death, firstly because it is easily recognisable as being religious and to do with the afterlife which is all what my theme is about, secondly because there can be endless possibilities to the idea, such as giving them an evil and quite advanced futuristic approach and making something quite horrifying. I also like idea 3 as a holy character, the design also has a nice silhouette that is quite clearly recognisable with the halo like shape behind the head. I have two characters to finalise anyway so i will do some more design work and push the concepts and ideas. Because we have to make a low poly and a higher poly model i may make the low poly model more stylised and cartoony which will fit the poly count much better and make the higher poly much more detailed and more realistic.
