Hello

Important to my adventurer is the ability to travel around a lot and have easy access to his or her exploring equipment, and an intellectual approach to exploring with a lot of books, maps and scrolls. Glass is also a theme I am tempted to play around with, in glasses, flasks, binoculars and so on.

I made a sketch of the same character, with the same clothes and equipment, as a woman and a man. Right now it can be either. I intend to focus on concept and design for a while before it's time for 3d.

nice concepts either one will do i like them both

Anais

Wow great concept sketches! Love them both... maybe a slight preference for the guy...? Both look sweet, really. Welcome and best of luck!

Nice concepts reminds me of Torchlight style .

Gratz, it's a boy! And look, it's Peter Parker!



So, yeah, face and hair is what still worries me, but I'm starting to think I'll solve that in 3d instead.

I think the hairstyle makes his head look a bit too square. Awesome concept though! I like all the bottles and things hanging from his belt, really helps to give him character.

So I sculpted a head! I didn't really get where I wanted in the concept art, so I focused on the bust only in zbrush. I have body somewhere too, and I guess I'll try to piece them together next.

Ooo, nice stylized sculpt I would definitely have the glasses for your final character.

Chaouch

The bust looks great, i like the glasses aswell.
