Model sheet part 3 - Asymmetry:
Well, after much consideration and switching back and forth, I decided to go with the crown that curves inwards. Also, I kept looking at the design and thinking how incredibly symmetrical it is. The lich is normally quite a powerful character, so one could conceivably be mostly symmetrical due to their almost regal status. That being said, I decided to change the draping of his scarf to add to the asymmetrical appeal. It's a subtle change, but I think it helps the design. As of now, I'm working on the rear orthographic view, hopefully I will have that done by later tonight..er, early this morning, rather...

He's coming along nicely! I think you made a good choice with the crown. The other one did look a bit like bunny ears. And I agree with trying to make him a bit assymetrical. While it means more modeling and texturing work, it makes a character feel more real.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought: Are the heads on his belt supposed to be shrunken heads? or halfling skills? Because they are very small and it looks a little odd.

ReplyDeleteThanks Blake, yeah, they're supposed to be heads that had most of the skull removed and then dried. Therefore, they are much smaller than normal. I agree though, they do look a little odd. I'll probably have to do a little more research on shrunken heads when I actually do the modeling.
ReplyDeleteGood call on the crown, it flows nicer with the should pads.
