Hakon the Viking
This is a series of character design work I did for a cartooning class project. I wanted something remeniscent of animated fantasy films from the 80s, but I tried to stay away from looking too much like World of Warcraft. All of these are done on paper or illustration board, enhanced for contrast.
Viking model sheet. Pencil, ink, and coloured pencil.
Early concept sketch. I knew I wanted a blue-yellow primary colour palette.
Refined portrait, with a distinctive moustache.
Early character design; more big-headed than where it ended up.
Walk stride.
Perspective concept sketch in progress - now with more refined proportions.
Supporting characters. Ink and coloured pencil. I wanted primary and secondary colour schemes for contrast.
Scene done with pencils on illustration board.
