Character Modeling Part 1

My concept character is detective Jim Kahn and including a front view and side view of the detective. As an unexperienced but clever detective, Kahn uses his knowledge of drone flying to observe crime scenes. While it might be concealed under his trench coat, Kahn is surprisingly fit and agile, and ready for anything!

 

Character Modelling 1

My scene wasn’t originally planned for a human character, so I decided to modify it to show the actual depiction of the detective coming to the scene as a representative of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations. The sketch only has the front view so far, but it is close to what I am imagining.

Breakout Creature- Storhund

After rereading the sign next to the busted cage, Detective Speurder realizes that this Storhund that escaped is a Tibetan Mastiff.  He realized these dogs can grow to be bigger than men and look more lion than dog, and that’s without genetic mutation.  He couldn’t imagine what it would look like now.  Between whatever was in the syringe and the panicked state he assumed it would be in, Speurder knew that this not so “wittle doggo” would be highly aggressive upon seeing anyone, including himself.

Character Part 1

For my character design I wanted to do a detective who would be investigating the scene. I wanted to strive for a more cartoony look for the detective with a bit more exaggerated proportions and mannerisms.

Concept Art 1

My first concept art is of the character Anguis, the Knight Shaman.

Exiled over 2000 years prior to the mystery scenario, Anguis has gained eternal youth through the “sacrifice” of human souls to turn them into his body’s own eternal fuel. He, or “it” is the last remaining Pentral on the planet, desperately attempting to uncover his people’s secrets. Unfortunately, all things come with a price. The Pentral do not take kindly to secret stealers and a trap ultimately robbed Anguis of his right hand. His armor is heavily skewed in a snake theme that will eventually align with the theme of the story being snakes. He also wields the Greatstaff of Serpents; a necessary piece of the puzzle that provides the power to destroy and transmute a human soul. However, it’s not the only item of Serpents in the world. Our detective soon might find another…

Anguis’ pose in the frontal view is a classic example of his people’s serpent like body and maneuvering in battle — able to flex and contort the body in all combinations similar to that of a snake.
