ITERATIONS

Weapons

The next stage for me was to decide what she was going to hold or use. I started off by doing a wide range of primary weapons. In my mind i already knew that i wanted her to have something in combination with a shield. After i finished these top 5 i decided that i would like my character to have a spear.


As you can see i also did some designs for a shield as well as 2 different long bows. I am not entirely sure if i want my character to have a bow yet but i am just jotting down some different ideas.

From the idea of having a spear i then went on to do more iterations for different designs for the tip. I really liked the designs 1, 2 and 6.

By taking the ideas from all 3 i decided to come up with this. I wanted to create something different and not generic and so i took number 2 and flipped the right hand side. In my opinion i think this works really well.



Face

I had a decent understanding of what i wanted her to look like but i did some research into hair colour and war paint. The two most popular hair colours were brown and ginger. Furthermore i looked into paint and they used very earthy colours, or blue. Males often had big swirls on there body but as my character is female i decided to have face paint. By mixing up all of these variables i decided that i was going to use ginger hair and blue war paint.
