FMP Character 3

Here are some early concepts, they should help grasp the idea I'm trying to achieve. Some of the concepts were simply too difficult for me and my current 3D ability to do accuratly.

Lack of research made these concepts stray too far from voodoo and the character my project is based on.

These images are very quick sketches to quickly map out some poses, statues and the alter. The character has developed quite alot by this point, instead of uploading each individual concept design I've merely put up the important ones which sparked my final design.

These images are the final design for the male and female, they're well within my ability to model and their design fits the description of the vodou God Marassa. The major difference between my interpritation is the fact I've made Marassa an adult as opposed to a child. There many reasons why I did this, mostly because it'd be good practice to make an adult and it ment I could define more muscles in the high poly, theres other small reasons but thats the most important.

I don't feel the 3D model does the concept justice, I altered the design slightly to make the character work as a 3D model. The skirt was changed and I've made the face more humanoid. The skull like nose on the concept wasn't right for a very humanoid character.
