Hello

I'm thinking of designing a Korean Villain type character
I like futuristic and mechanical concept, but this time I'll work with a fantasy concept using traditional something of Korea.

I did some idea sketches.
The most important part of this idea sketches was mask and sickle of Korea.
for cultural identity

I mainly envisioned the concept of Bruiser and Stabber and thought it was cool to use two sickles.
Based on number 3,6,7,8,10 I'm also thinking about other designs.

and I've also collected some reference for idea

I like your sketches, so "freestyle"-ish feeling! Also, that's why I like this contest theme: I don't know almost nothing about Korean medieval history in visuals, and it looks SO interesting and unusual!
P.S. Those mask are sick and powerful!

[obgnuoy]

I did little more idea sketches based on my previous work.
mainly envisioned the concept of Flapping tops, Mask, 2 Sickles, looking enjoyable but seems not good guy.

But the silhouette doesn't look special.
look a little monotonous, so i'm going to add a hat-like decoration later.

here some reference for Korean medieval hat

I like where this is going.

[obgnuoy]

I made some sketches.
It's a Tricky Assassin concept that fights enemies with the Phantoms.
They looks like Joyful.

I think number 3 is cool, but I chose number 1 because I have to work on the fight scenes according to the rules of the ART WAR.

Now I'm gonna have to paint for a long time.

[obgnuoy]

Yeah, It's a work in progress.
I'll add shiny amber decoration.
