Do you have a concept or reference you're working from?

weapons, standered main weaopn the aztecs used.


i was board so i drew up something, then decided to create it.

Are you planning just something quick for prototype purposes or are you planning to put this into a portfolio?

If it's the latter, I heavily recommend you spend more time designing and concepting out the character you want to make. Right now, it feels too simple and under designed. There's nothing visual from it that I take as cues from Aztec aesthetics.

Thumbnail out, blast out ideas. winnow it down to ones that work and find critiques for it. Let this be a well-design character.

If it's just for prototyping, feel free to do whatever is quickest to make it serviceable.

yeah i get you i will spend more time desgining it more, give it more features and have more links to the Aztec theme

Make a crap ton of black thumbnails. Silhouette is usually the most important aspect to good character design. Even if you have to make 50+ thumbs, it's better than just sticking to a few possibilities.

Had to do that myself a couple years ago. Hurt a lot, but ended up with a better design than what I originally thought I was going to do.

hey JadeEyePanda just waant to say a big thanks for what you do here on polycount, u help countless(no pun intended) amounts of people including my crappy designs XD.

i have never say like draw quick schetechs but it was nice as i got new ideas for the next say thumbnail?



i looked at ur silhouettes and i saw u had rough first so i dident go crazy on detail, started a bit to small maybe?

P.S.i have the worst grammar and spelling ever!!

Brian "Panda" Choi

Do you have any references at all to existing Aztec art?

Collect references and inspiration. Do what Gavin Goulden did in his "Juan Helsing" thread.

Good design requires good research. This is like school.



Just focus on black silhouettes, don't breach into internal elements until your silhouette looks solid.

alright more research, but by silhouettes? not sure like how they should look?

Brian "Panda" Choi

They should look good and fit to the design's purposes.
