Character Design 1.3

I was recently checking out a few games and thought of Bioshock, reason I thought of Bioshock is because similar to what im trying to acheive with my character. Is that you can give yourself an injection which makes you asscesable to a variety of different special attributes focusing on the hand, Which is my main area of attack on my character. and provides you with a variety of different moves from flame attack, ice attack and even the ability to contol your enemies, I like this idea but instead of using something like an Inection I could use something like a robotic kind of dial which my character could use to control what state he is in.

Character Design 1.2

Heres a few variations I did for the design and shape of the Head, I really like the idea of using a Hood, think It would be quite effective for the intro of the battle where the player cant see his head until the part where he reveils it,I also quite like the bottom righ design with the horns on top of his head instead of the side.

Character Design 1.1

Heres 2 coloured illustrations of the Devil Drawing, It was quickly coloured as I did'nt want to go into too much detail but I wanted to give myself an Idea of how the colours would look. I decided to colour one in Red representing fire and one Blue representing Ice, as I have really grown into the idea of my character been able to change in battle from Fire to Ice giving the players more of a challenge to defeat the boss, Im also toying with the idea of having an Electrcity version aswell to add even more extra depth.

Character Design 1.0

During the crit I was given advice to take a look at the game Diablo, so I had a look at the lastest game Diablo 3 which is not yet out, but it has some very good videos on youtube including a trailor and a video showing the gameplay inwhich they come across a end of level boss which has elements of fire, which I can take influence such has how the boss uses the elements of fire and special moves and how the character is animated onto the video game, also I really like the environment inwhich Diablo uses such as a kind of ancient runins/medievel.

I recently designed these 2 character taking influence from previous research, out of the 2 I really like the devil like creature, and have ideas inwhich i can take and develeop that character, however I plan to desing some more characters to give me more variety to choose from but I really like that design.

I also had my final crit in which I was given a whole lot of useful infomation such as where I could research and given some great examples of characters I could take inluence from into developing my character. I was also told to explore the elements of fire and not just red fire but kind of blue animated fire, This game me an Idea to have the character be able to control the elements of fire,water and electricity, such as on the game Bioshock where u have different powers. I also really like another idea have it as a kind of spirit underneath the armour such as the character on Hellboy 2.

Character Design 0.8

Heres a selection of images I took on camera from my Dads Work in Rotherham. I took images of interesting shapes and textures inwhich I plan to take influence from and in corporate them into my designs.

Character Design 0.7

Recently just played the demo for the upcoming game Dante's Inferno which is to be released in Febuary on Xbox 360 and PS3, Reasons I can take influence from this game is theres a majority of the charaters designed which are influenced and based on hell and fire. Something i am basing my character design on. I also really like the design of the characters and how alot of the bosses from what I have seen are emphasised by the size of the character and the wide variety of speciial moves they include and an idea of certail abilities which could be incorporated into my character, something I can consider into my design. I would have liked to have played the full game to gain a better knowledge and gain more inluences from the game however with the game not coming out till Febuary I will unfortunaly have to keep to scrrenshots and a game preview.



Heres a few screenshots I found which really interest me.
