Beginning to sketch character designs I started on this sketch of a man quickly trying out the idea of him having painted skin - like the prisoners in Apocalypto - and I found that I really liked the way the quick and rough painting made the paint look like it had been loosely applied. This would be a much nicer effect than to have perfectly done paint (like Mel Gibsons immaculate Braveheart makeup) The bright colours also make the character stand out much more.
From this I then looked at how different colours would look on the character as well as using different shapes to make the character look more interesting since he would have very few clothes to do this.
I also started exploring different looks for the characters face to try and get a heroic look. I want him to look tough but not overly brutal, as that could take away too much from making the antagonists seem evil.
And some more designs for the characters clothing. Trying out more subtle and exaggerated looks
