Found the images and made a few more

I managed to locate all the images i had done in the character design lessons and scanned them in, except for the ones drawn in blue i had to take photos of them. (i forgot scanners find blue hard to read)

I also drew up some more and thought a bit more on the story.

first are some of the drawings unrelated to the main project.


The last two on the scientist images are redraws of my original design done by Zack Moat (http://wakkamole.blogspot.com/).

Next are the ones from the main project.

The Villain: Hydran

I designed the hands and feet then i decided to redesign the cloak to be a bit more sharper and torn, i do admit though that i believe the proportions are a bit off.

The villain's sidekick: ??? (name still unknown)

The snake i'm having second thoughts about for a decent character that will fit in with the whole aesthetic of the idea now.

The hero: ??? (name still unknown)

My drawing ability and design of the hero has improved with each step the last of the images i shall explain after the next image.

The hero's sidekick: The Golden Fleece

I was thinking more along the lines with this sidekick, the golden fleece is an important plot device and is an alternative to the hero having a generic curse. After obtaining the fleece from the forest without alerting the dragon, the fleece reveals its personality, a talkative slightly cowardly being that is able if worn as a mask to tranform the wearer into a minotaur of tremendous strength, hence the new drawing of the hero.

Lack of posting

Sorry for the lack of posting and it is totally inexcusable.

i was intending to scan and upload all the drawings i did over the character design lessons but they have been misplaced due to parental unit re-organizing the living room.

When i find them i will post them post-haste!

During the character lessons i came up with an idea for the hero, i couldn't quite fully fill the idea of the hero when i realized the whole setup of my idea seemed very familiar.

Before stating the familiarity i shall start will what i managed to come up with for the hero its not much but it IS an idea.

The hero is a regular village worker helping out in the fields when Hydran/Hydrax decides to destroy the town after failing to persuade them to serve under his rule. The spell he used to destroy the village had failed to wipe out everyone. The hero of course is the only one to survive, as he awoke from being knocked unconscious he found that he had been cursed to change to the form of a minotaur only to realize that his village had been destroyed and he set out for revenge.

When you put hero and the villain together in the most typical way it seems so much like an old game called 'altered beast':

altered beast is a game about a hero being resurected to fight of a villain during his quest he is able to change forms into legendary beasts. here is a video:
