Retired Demon WIP
polycounter lvl 7
I'm working on a retired Demon next gen character. He will be modelled, textured and rigged. I started thinking about what he could look like. I wanted him to be ghostly like, with medieval armour covering him. This was my initial idea anyway.
After some thought and realisation that to create that character I would have to use a large amount of particles I decided to go with more of a humanoid form. This then led me to sketching out ideas relating to witches and shamans. I kept various aspects of the original character idea i.e. his face and hat but added more extravagant features such as feathers and a glowing glass jar full of whisps. I felt this would add a story line element to the character.
After some thought I then sketched out other ideas for how his cape could look, some new hat ideas and chest plate ideas. After this little exercise I then decided to change some aspects of him. I chose to exchange the leaf skirt for a metal belt, and also add some similar aspects to his fur collar. I also chose a new walking-cain, one that also glowed Aqua like the whisps and his feathers.
I have sketched out some ideas for how he would move, these four thumb nails give an idea of his character, and how he acts. I want him to be a kind of crazy old man, one you might see skipping thought a wood under moonlight...funny but oh very creepy.
I also sketched out some ideas for how his face would emote for a facial rig.
Just finished sketching up his orthographic views. Next I will start to model him out. Any feedback would be most appreciated! I will be updating this thread frequently with new work so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated

Liam you are just fantastic.
Here are some Updates on my work:
RIG:
Textures:
The back story behind this character is that he is a demon, who has had his time. Now hiding himself away he practices simple magic, yet don't let his size and age fool you. If threatened he can move as quick as lightning and kill you with a single breath.
That is a cool back story but nothing in your character model shows that... Honestly I can't even really tell he is a demon. He looks more like a generic enemy you would meet in Torchlight.
