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.
Made in: Adobe Photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Cintiq 13HD

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

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.
