Well I am an 80´s kid! so Star Wars its on my childhood memory ,and lucky for me also worked in it later on!
＼（゜э゜）／
But I want it to make something out of the usual context ! that wont be the characters and stories that Hollywood always does to play safe!
So I need a protagonist I can relate to, and also to be a different strong woman... This is why I made this alien Princess, she was trained by her sister´s father as a Jedi , but then her aunt turned an inquisitor in order to survive with the empire, so she is now able to get more the knowledge by their two branches, the way in which the grey zone of the force is, meaning she is not all is white or black type ..but more to work towards what makes more sense in the universe for the time she is there, she has an unique staff that has 3 Jedi crystals, its a weapon of her own invention, and her companion :"Votzy" its her little reminder of doing whats in the agenda for her to earn the respect she needs to recover her kingdom!
hope you like her, coz I have the whole crew all set up already ...
When I do fan Art! since I write and make up fantasy worlds of my own! I rather use something completely new that could fit into the franchise or brand, that I am using for inspiration rather that just draw what its hip and trend! This practice help me lots to learn more into my flexible points toward various designs and point of views !
This wont be a full render art, rather than just a visual development to get that style I am looking for the production!
.｡ﾟ+.ヽ| ゝ∀・*|ﾉ｡+.ﾟ Hope you like her!
Well some more ideas to explore about the main character on the story and her personality --- also I am doubting what hairstyle and final age will be the right one on each sketch , I try to answer this..
I put as an example , the first process in visual development in a main character for an animated production, that many studios have.
This image sows, how every artist must think in the design , with the aspect of her acting in the story, with some clear style that will be more in development later, then the world she or he comes from , and the close friends,. or companions she/he, learn to be around within the beginning of the story.
This is an image that is the first impression from the character and her world to all of us, this is an image we all have in any character in any story : so it must be successful at selling this character !
This process of drawing is kinda like you where a casting director, you must make a decision for the role for each concept in here, such as the sets (BG) that your production will be showing in the story
If this first impression does goes the right way , I can keep going with the development , in case this does not feels natural to the story , then its time to make more research and more drawing!
Zherezade my character must learn some magic, and the best place to do it will be at the kingdom of the Wisdom , where magic its one of their greatest assets to get to prove that you have achieved an excellent grade of wisdom..
Here we go a fresh idea, right from the sketch book! maybe Zherezade likes to have long magical hair in this shape where her powers have a especial ability ... does she looks good? ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ) I don't know yet!
Need to sketch her more! (^～^;)ゞ
Horuz, comes from a far away place. Horuz has a very dark past, he is Zherezade´s best friend.
He is one of the must valued team members in her adventure, Horuz will gave her the true knowledge of strengthen her spirit : this way she will be able to fight in magical arts, something she will need to use , if she wants to remove some heavy obstacles in her path. In order to get the thing she wants must...
This is the Pitch idea for this character , meaning its purely experimental and from here on, I will go to the development phase ! Hope you enjoy this process in your own characters or with this story!
Well when you start having a first read in a script , when you have characters such as the protagonist, and the secondary ones that get to be very important in the story. You need to get your visual development ideas moving, for this FIRST I recommend explore what are you going to do?
1- Go just for pencil ideas, (either traditional or digital) no render no color no buts!
2- You must first get the exploration sketches meaning sketching a personality, this comes right as your first impression, some artist need research before the drawing if they are not to familiar or over exposed to the idea..
3- Get some realistic approach first , this helps you imagine better what do you want to do with the style of the character later.
4- Just go over the age that the character shows at the story , this way you don't loose time having to trim down more ideas that make the process slower and sometimes not needed...
