Character design

I love designing characters. I can never escape it.

All the characters depicted here are my OCs, unless indicated otherwise.

A digital drawing of a male knight character, with both front and back shown. He has broad shoulders and a muscular build, tan skin and chestnut hair that is slicked back and attached in a low ponytail. He is wearing a blue short bolero jacket, a white shirt that is open to show off his pecs, and tucked into a wide leather belt with golden decorations on the front representing a stylized sun. He has grey pants and dark blue gloves that go up to the elbow. He is wearing golden armor: pauldrons attached to the jacket, and full leg armor. In the middle is a spear with a sun decoration.

Aelius, 2023.

 

A digital drawing of a male knight character wearing full golden armor and a blue cape and blue tabard. His face is hidden under a helmet. He has motifs of a four point star all over his design. The drawing shows both the front and back of his design, as well as the back when not hidden by the cape.

Déluge, 2023.

 

A digital drawing of a black-skinned fantasy character inspired by beetles, with front and back view. He is covered from head to toe in a smooth glossy spiky red-brown armour that looks like the chitinous exoskeleton of a beetle. He has 4 arms, outstretched to better show the design. He is wearing a helmet adorned with horns that look like stag beetle horns, and hides half his face. His armor is adorned with tiny neon green gems that are shaped like droplets. A motif is drawn on his helmet, a green dot and a half-circle over it, colored neon green as well. Big brown beetle wings are protruding from the back of his chestplate. Next to him are drawn his shield and sword. The shield in shaped like the elytras of a scarab beetle, also reddish brown and glossy like his armor, and covered in a neon green motif that is shaped like the motif on a fiddler beetle`s elytras. The sword is arched and has a jagged blade, it looks like a giant mandible or perhaps part of a beetle`s leg.

Hemera, 2023.

 

A digital drawing of a design for a female character, with both front and back to better show the design. She has black skin and very long dark brown wavy hair that falls in front of her fface and hides her eyes. She is wearing a black dress made of a slightly transparent gauze-like material, with a red, wide belt. In her back, long and thin elytras black with a yellow border, like that of a male firefly, are attached to the belt. Behind her head is a shiny halo that looks like a small full-moon. Her feet are bare and shining bright yellow light. Her arms are bare as well and matte black, as if covered in soot, with her nails painted light yellow and shining slightly.

Nyx, 2023.

 

A reference sheet for a fantasy character of a tall, slender man wearing futuristic fantasy clothes. His eyes are hidden by some sort of visor, and he has dragonfly wings. The ref sheet includes a front and back view of his design and a breakdown of the layers of clothes, as well as a close-up on his back to better show off where the clothes leave space for the wings.

Ouranos, 2023.

 

A digitally illustrated design reference sheet for my OC Eros (he/him). He looks like a feminine person and his face is hidden by a golden mask, the lower half of which looks like a wasp`s mandibles. He is wearing a golden chestplate over a black minidress fading to dark blue. He is also wearing golden armor plates up to his thighs, and his shoes are sabatons with stiletto heels. He has orange wasp wings attached mid-back. He has golden bands on his arms, and long golden nails. He is wearing a long white coat with a hood. On the sheet, you can see 4 different views of the character, one from the front, and 3 from the back that sho off the different layers of the design (coat, wings and body). Other details included: a full view of a single wing, the shoe shown from the profile, a close-up of the head (with the mask and the hood on) from the profile, the color palette, and a few notes stating that the coat attaches to the gorget, and the wings are at 70% opacity.

Eros, 2024.
