Hunter Exploration

Exploration for characters based in a dystopian world, where defence is left to your scavenging capability and whatever is knocking around :). Not an entirely new concept platform in itself, but a great one to play within and develop my character design skills (being my main intent).

I started with making a Pureref file with loads of reference ideas that suited this world, from burning man, mad max, psycotic characters like Harlequinn and stuff similare to The Purge - all that similar messed up vibe basically.

Once my silouhette/ black whites were made I coloured them up. I tried to use colour to help differentiate one character to the next. I wanted to increase textures and style for each character, so made 3 options for each route.

Each characters name is a symbolism in itself, having a relationship to the meaning of Death. The character I ended up illustrating, Javaraya actually means 'God of Death'. He has bones, skulls and even a high calibre bullet to give subtle cues.
