The Mother//Re Design

This was a second year university project called Green Light in which we were put into groups and asked to design a game based on the subjects we pulled out a hat. My team got given Beowulf and war. We created a MOBA (Massive online batter arena) game because we felt like War was best represented through a MOBA two sides against each other. Fortunately the story of Beowulf has two distinct sides being the humans and monsters. The character I have designed here is The Mother who is the leader of the Monsters, we decided to base them of Eastern Asian folk lore. The Mother is based on the Nine tailed fox, Kumiho in Korean.

2 YEARS LATER.
I decided to redesign the character to use as an example in my portfolio of how I have improved in character design, technique, taking criticisms and feed back. I felt like my old design was far to generic and basic so I wanted a more unique design and theme. I looked into what flowers are associated with mothers and motherhood and chose the carnation. The colour scheme still match with the brief my team made 2 years ago however, I used a lot more colours from the carnation flower as well to give her more uniqueness. I also removed her mask as I thought it was out of place and I felt as if all my creativity for the character went into the mask.
