Assignment: Young Russian Pyro Girl

Here's my 3 stylized passes at this character design:

My assignment was to create a character who is a Young, Russian, Pyrotechnic Girl. These were the references I collected, I tried to use some Russian army uniform designs and general facial structure.

I've always loved the dramatic lighting on Majora's Mask concept art, so i tried to recreate that style.

And lastly I needed a third style and being crunched for time, I went for something fast and simple with a flat/cell shaded appearance.

 

I'll update this later with sketches and etc:

Assignment: Character Shapes and Self Portrait

My assignment the first day of characters and environments was to draw some random shapes, and then adapt them into rendered character ideas, as well as to do a self portrait.

And this is what I came up with:

These are the shapes I started with:

And here's my self portrait, I feel like the full-body is a bit more successful then the close-up, my stare is creeping me out.

 On an unrelated note, one of my friends asked me to draw Adam Jenson from Deus Ex: Human Revolution riding a unicycle.

He never asked for this, but my friend did.
