The Fallen - Variations

With all the sketches completed it's now time to create a color study of my character with couple variations. I've decided not to mess with the armor, for a simple reason; I think it really resambles Fallen's character and it fits him perfectly. Instead I've decided to play around with different weapons and helmets designs.

To be honest I have never done any character variations so it was quite hard to come up with ideas or even find a way to produce them. I have looked through various concept arts for games and movies and I had a clear idea on how to work on my character to make him more interesting and give him new look. 

As you can see I have drawn couple of different weapons. A classical sword which didn't really feel right compared to his size and looks. I quite enjoyed giving him the mace and an axe. These two felt more powerful and definitely have had good impact on the character look.

As far as the helmets go, I looked at some designs from Dark Souls and I decided to give them not only a different shape but also a texture. I think they worked quite well and gave me a lot to consider in my final paitning.
