3D Character Concepts

I really wish we got more drawing assignments ;_;  I adore making characters, and I loved drawing out concepts for both of these characters, but I felt like we didn't get enough time. I would've loved to stay in this concept stage for at least another class period, since it's the most important stage of them all, and I think it would've benefited a whole lot of people since we really didn't get much time for iteration 8\

My first concept, though not "what I wanted to be when I was a kid," was just something I came up with that wasn't as generic as a medieval fantasy warrior, which was my main character concept based on the theme. Here are the sketches for the first concept, a 1700's female assassin dressed in Rococo/Baroque-style dresses. She conceals her weapons within her clothing's drapes and gets close to her target, flirting with them so they drop their guard before she suggests a secluded area, or is brought back to their house, where she assassinates them. There she slips out undetected, deceptively appearing as any ordinary high-class lady would, and gets off clean.



Examples of 1700's Rococo/Baroque dresses:


I really want to play with this character more because I knocked the idea before finalizing it, and do some actual character sketches of her. But that'll be on my own time I guess, haha.

Here are the concepts for my main idea, the medieval fantasy character whose profession I played around with (I made up so many fantasy characters for stories back in the day). If you can't read the writing, the professions are Chemist, Warrior/Explorer, Assassin/Explorer, Spell-caster, Messenger, and Astronomist.


I struggled with indecisiveness for awhile on which one to go with, especially because I have stories that could go with each character, and everyone I asked for opinions liked different ones. In the end I went with a combination of the Messenger and the Assassin's professions, but with the Assassin's outfit. Here's my turn-around WIP, which I still plan on revising. I'll post the final character turn-around when it's done 8)
