Colours can be associated with many aspects of life, such as emotions, religion, objects, gender ...etc.
Red and blue are opposite colours with strong emotional meanings. Red usually represents the anger, passion in the other hand Blue represents sadness and coldness. In certain cultures, the red was the colour of devil and blue symbolized the sky, heaven. The painting “Fallen Angel” by Alexander Cabanel shows the emotional transition from sadness to anger with religious theme. The emotion of Lucifer an exceptional representation of anger and sorrow which I would like to use as an inspiration in my character creation.
The duality of the topic led me to create a furious, beautiful assassin. He is possessing otherworldly abilities to punish people. He has huge faith in divine punishment, and in his job. Losing faith in the decision making of the gods he serves force him to realise his actions. He decides to protect humanity against the will of Heaven.
Similar characters are usually represented in stylization with triangulated shapes, such as Zed or Aphelios from League of Legends. The artwork of Ilya Gagarin is an interesting representation of a rogue. I like the cold colours and the details, folds on the clothes.
For the assignment I decided to create a bust due to the limitations of the time. Through this practice my aim is to learn how clothing folds and how it can be realistically represented inside Z-Brush. Further goals to expand my knowledge in a new 3D program and to understand how projection works in Z-Brush.
