Gladiator Character Design

This is a character design project where ​​​​we were tasked to create a character based on the prompt “Savage Daughter”. The final idea that was decided upon was to base the character on based more on the Celts, or more specifically Celtic tribal warriors. The Greek motifs were added later on in the project, where a story line was developed that this character would be the daughter of a Greek citizen, before abandoning those ways to become a Celtic warrior.

Ideation

The project initially started with many exploration sketches to figure out what shapes and silhouettes would be the best to convey the type of character that would fit a “Savage Daughter”

Sketches

After putting together a solid idea of what the character would be, some further exploratory sketches and color tests were done. Greens, reds, and yellows were incorporated into the character’s color schemes to reflect both the Celtic and Greek origins of the character.

Final Designs

This is the final character turn around with and without the cape.
