Exploratory Practice-week 18-research&thumbnail ideas

The franchise I adopted is Overwatch. The character that I want to make is a mechanical girl with prosthetic limbs, so first I searched a large number of images and integrated into the mood board. The first mood board is mainly a white series of mechanical armor, which uses a large number of elements, and with mechanical wings.

The second mood board is based on Chinese elements style, contains two categories, one is the Chinese black and red colors composed of fully armored girl, while the other part is the use of traditional Chinese clothing – cheongsam and the future mechanical elements of the combination of character design.

This is the character design draft I found on the Watchtower, mostly based on Chinese elements, including weapon settings are also very characteristic of the style, is my main reference style of painting.

My first character design idea is a female general who traveled from ancient China to modern times, she learned how to use modern technology weapons and modern technology also helped her to install the left leg lost during the previous war. But she still likes to wear the clothes of the past. This costume is a combination of the armor of the Shang Dynasty as well as the cheongsam of the Republican period. The pictures on the right are some painting references.

My second character design idea is a canary who had cultivated for a thousand years to become human. She was raised in a cage, for which she was distressed and depressed every day, and gradually, these feelings transformed into anger. A chance, she broke through the cage and with the pain of that year cultivated for a thousand years, transformed into a human, and became a warrior

The third character design idea is a peacock orc.
