MAGUS - THE SORCERER

In this project I wanted to develop my use of local values in distinguishing different elements on different designs for the same character. I initially went into this project thinking that each design would have a different build, hairstyle and so on - in essence a different person. But as I settled into the rhythm of drawing I ended up deciding that it would be interesting so instead draw the same character in all 3 of the design variations, but have each one be a different evolution of the character, as if he was leveling up each time, gaining new abilities and thus much nicer and more elegant looking robes.

Magus Character Design Local Values

Final image of all 3 character concept variations with added local values to help in distinguishing the various elements on each.

Magus Character Design Lay-in

Initial Lay-in and pseudo gesture for the pose I used. Ensuring that everything is proportionate and keeping perspective in mind.

I then built up the construction sketch to include the mass and muscles on the body and so forth.
