On the third week I began to create original designs that stemmed from the research I conducted in previous weeks. The following page features my first sketch of a main character concept.
This was my first concept sketch of my main character. I have taken into consideration the points of interest of previous video game characters I have studied here; he has an anthropomorphised look, with a set of consistent design principles (large head, distinctive ears / hat and cross on chest). I hope to make this design into a set of sprites in the future and indicate movement within the character.
On the page featured left, I experimented with some plain, base colours for him. I have decided at this basic stage that red is the most fitting due to the "heroic" nature of the colour; many video games would indicate that blue is the most appealing and "neutral" colour for a protagonist - one example being the aforementioned Sonic the Hedgehog - but red is equally appealing as a colour choice and suits the image I have in mind for the character.
