PHAELOR - THE EXILE
For PHAELOR THE EXILE. I gave myself the brief of: "A male medieval warrior with an abnormally large sword". This left me open to interpret it in many ways. After a series of sheets conceptualizing the facial features, clothes and so forth, with the ideas of a lonely wanderer in my mind, I eventually arrived at the final result.
Made in: Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CS6 with a Wacom Cintiq 13HD
The final illustration of the character. Using several layers of different alphas and colours to render the final image.
Initial Ideation and Concept work based off of the design brief. I then highlighted the one which I wanted to take forward.
I created 3 different design concepts and I selected the elements that I liked from each one to formulate the final design.
