Character design from 2017

Week 1 | Overview

This week we were quickly introduced to the world builder's brief. When going through this brief I was very excited to start as I had a few ideas in mind already, as well as an old character (above) that I had been wanting to re-design for some time. This made it easy for me when we were asked to put our ideas up on the world builders register. Most of this week was just gathering reference material, writing out project documents, and pumping out ideas.

I started populating a blue sky mood-board on Pinterest, which I then organised into reference sub-categories (below) and then finally a refined mood board (below).
