Third batch of sketches. This time I worked with some accessories to make his character a bit more interesting. I primarily focused on bracelet and necklace designs, I think those two additions are really the only ones that fit for him, at least right now.
I wasn't really sure what kind of style or inspiration I wanted to go with for the bracelets or necklace, but I definitely wanted some level of relation between the two. I didn't really have an idea of which bracelet design I liked after drawing them, so I skipped to the necklace to see if I could establish anything there.
Once I got to the 5th necklace idea, I started to get the ball rolling a bit, eventually coming up with the 7th one. It kind of reminded me of piano keys, but was also very basic at the same time. Then, I thought to change it up a bit, trying to make the design a bit more complex by adding in some pieces that stand out. Once I started to do that, I got the idea to individualize each piece, making it unique in its own way. I was somewhat inspired by the chains that maesters wear in Game of Thrones, each metal link representing different fields of study. I've been treating Arzan as if he was formerly a priest or something along those lines, so maybe each piece of his necklace represents a part of his faith. More to be explored when it comes to the details behind his necklace, but I at least have a cool direction to head in.
After coming up with a general necklace idea, I wasn't sure what bracelet design would correlate with it, so I went with something simple. Bracelet design #5 spoke to me, not standing out enough to hinder the necklaces' presence, but still there to add to Arzan's character.
I think adding these two details was an excellent idea overall, and certainly something that I can build off of even more. I look forward to developing him more as the event continues. Thank you taking a look.
