FINAL SUMBMISSION:
I went for the ultimate sci fi hero a strong leader . Taking the classic Sci Fi hero with a slight twist of my own.
She is a ruthless killer and honest leader. My idea is the last of her race of a very unadvanced sci fi race. There is a very tribal place of strong warriors. As a child however, an Alien Invasion enter her home planet and wiped her race with only a few rescued by another race that came as aid. She spent her child life as a space refugee until she was old enough to join the space corp. Now she spends her life seeking revenge on the aliens that destroyed her planet. Succeeding in her Foot Soldier Company she excelled through her ranks to become a Major. She and her men are always in the front line leading the charge and symbol of force. They call her the Spear of Saecula because of it. My design focus on combining the typical sci fi esque solider so it is oozing with ulitmate sci fi and then also will give it a twist with a African tribal feel.
FINAL SUMBMISSION
CHARACTER CONCEPT SHEET
FINAL ILLUSTRATION
PROGRESSION DOWN BELOW
(30/01/2017) MOODBOARDS: So i started by gathering lots of reference of what i want and ideas. Sci Fi, Female faces and African Influence.
Sci Fi Armour
African Influence
African Female Head
(30/01/2017) FACE SKETCHES: Some quick sketches to try capture a face to use. Want to show strength but still have feminine features. now going to choose one and finalise a bit more.
(31/01/2017) FINAL FACE SKETCHES: So looking at the faces i have sketched and researched. I created my own face turn around to use.
(31/01/2017) HAIR STYLES AND FEATURES: Here i look ideas of face tattoos. Already had some idea for tribal tattoos that was a bit Sci Fi but can also look tribal. Hair just looked references. Want to protray someone that is tough, bold and proud of their heritage.
(01/02/2017) ARMOUR THUMBNAILS: Here before was a very quick brain storming session 5 minutes per thumbnails see any nice silhouettes or ideas that come out of it. I had a general idea of what i wanted so they are all pretty similar and the weapon (lance) will be development further just focus on the armour.
(01/02/2017) FINAL FEMALE HEAD TURN AROUND: Here is a final detail of the head of what Zara looks like. Just to see the final head of what it looks like all the way around. I decided to have the tribal tattoos on the one side. As it looked too symmetrical on both sides.
(01/02/2017) TATTOOS IDEA: The idea of the tattoo it is a tribe that shows all strengths and weakness. each line represents a trial and level they have passed and gained. It needs more design work but for now here some ideas of what the levels are. The longer and more patterned the line the higher grade they reached. WILL DESIGN MORE ELABORATE FURTHER DOWN LINE.
(01/02/2017) BODY TURN AROUND: Just created a turn around of the body shape i will like my character to be. Did a quick paint job to just practice anatomy. I dont know the rules of nudity so I blacked out just in case
(01/02/2017) CONCEPT SYNOPSIS: So here is a very rough block out and brief info to help explain what is going on in my head right now and how I am going to proceed with the armour design. I going to thumbnail each section of the armour pieces and keep considering these design ideas.of course they wont be separated like this they both themes will blend together.
(02/02/2017) CHEST ARMOUR THUMBNAILS: So i started working on thumbnails of the chest plate. Kind of what your opinion on which you think will look good. I have thought of my one I like and will start to clean them up a bit. Remember it is only the chest piece we are looking at really the arms are just to add context but are going to be design properly.
(02/02/2017) CHEST NEAT THUMBNAILS: I have narrowed down to these options, neaten up to have a proper view which one looks good. SO i can decided which one has the most potential
(03/02/2017) ARM ARMOUR THUMBNAILS: So I have finalised the main silhouette of the chest plate and now going through different iterations of the arm to suit it I going to try the shoulder small as the main focal point i want are the arm band area. At the moment the best one that does that is number 7. Thoughts?
(03/02/2017) LEG ARMOUR THUMBNAILS: Started working iterations on the legs. Not sure which one to choose as it is suppose to bear the weight of the mech suit but also dont want to look too chunky.
(06/02/2017) FINALISING DETAILS IN ARMOUR: Weekend at work so couldn't do much. So here is the finalise details i want the suit in the turn around. I need to neaten up and do colour test.
(06/02/2017) The exo suit did not look correct mainly on the arm so produced a few more moodboards to get the idea down. Also created some moodboards to come up with ideas for the colour of the suit to start on the colour test. Looking at both afirican art colours and typical sci f colours.
EXO SUIT MOODBOARD
LEG MOODBOARD
AFRICAN COLOURS
SCI FI COLOURS
(07/02/2017) Here is my design for now. Not 100 % happy with the exo suit but at least makes more sense than the last one Using reference.
(09/02/2017) Got another render. Still didnt like the shield so created a Shield Moodboard. Change the design then decided to thumbnail the design.
Shield Moodboard
Stage 3 Armour Design
Shield Thumbnails
(09/02/2017) Did a Colour Test to check what colour will suit it. However still feel that the white is a strong contender
(10/02/2017) Did a detail of the Shield before work and put it back into the turn around. finally happy with the design really need to get on to the lance before next week.
(11/02/2017) 11 hour shift at work today. No time to do anything today. only managed to create some moodboards and ideas of what I want to make. I want a Halbred Gun mix together. I want her to be able to use it 3 different ways. Gun, Lance attack and Halbred attack. I will get it finished by tomorrow hopefully.
Lance weapons
Sci fi guns
(12/02/2017) Created thumbnails for the new gun. want to follow the circle pattern and look badass. really liking 2 or 3 and 6 is quite cool.
(12/02/2017) Created Silhouettes To see which one will go with the theme and concept.
(13/02/2017) Did some quick thumbnails on choices of capes. I feel it will balance the design from the big shield.
Front Cloak Thumbnails
Back Cloak Thumbnails
(13/02/2017) Worked on detailing out the weapon and then doing the colours still WIP get it finished by tonight.
(13/02/2017) Finalising the Weapon design sticking with the concept. Also Showing the three different modes that Zara will use.
(14/02/2017) Sketches for Composition to the final illustration.
(15/02/2017) Had work again today but started to do composition and detailing things out. I blockout if enemies are in front but not sure any opinions?
Option 1A
Option 1B
(16/02/2017) starting finishing my general block out a bit more today. will start to detail out and add colours
(19/02/2017) Been at work for a couple of days now. so only done a few tweaks here and there. 9 Days left. got to push to get this done. Did some minor tweaks blocked out the ship and started doing the soldiers around.
(20/02/2017)Started doing final detail of the turn around. Also carried on main illustration.
(21/02/2017) Did the final details on the the turn around not sure if it too much patterns. Keep the tribal theme but adding a sci fi twist.
(21/02/2017) Also added COLOUR! starting to get the main piece done just worry about the focal point and the soldiers around her.
(23/02/2017) Change the Final details of the turn around. Fitting with the concpet design and patterns
(24/02/2017) Nearly Finished the picture just the main character and the soldiers around her. Hopefully have time to do a little bit extra for the character concept sheet
(25/02/2017) Just need tweaking and cleaning and VFX
(28/02/2017) Finished the pieces hopefully. Pretty with the end piece. Thank you for the people that commented and took the time to look at my work. It is very much appreciated.
I did this to get me motivated and as a portfolio piece. Good luck to everyone. Great pieces out there.
