CHARACTER DESIGN  GCD61704/Task 4 LIU CHENG RUI  (0370930) GCD61704/Environment design / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media / Taylor's University    INSTRUCTION Task 4 week12 This week, I began to create Character Overview. Since the background of my character is in the cultivation world, I plan the overall style to lean towards cultivation, such as cloud mist and Immortal light. Fig12.1 Character Overview 1 Fig12.2   Character Overview 2 week13 This week, I showed the completed Character Overview to Mr. Fitri.

I still need to explore different versions of character weapons/items/equipment. I first explored the expressions and weapons of the characters. According to my task1, my character was designed based on the theme of Chinese martial arts. Therefore, when creating the character's expressions, I mostly drew inspiration from expressions in martial arts anime or comics. Besides, I also collected some different martial arts men's hairstyles. At the same time, based on these hairstyles, I created a unique hairstyle that suits my character. ...

The name of this world is "The Spirit-veined Nine Provinces". Fig1.1 "The Spirit-veined Nine Provinces"  moodboards Big backgroun...
