Final comparison post of all my final designs for this project- seeing them next to one another makes me more confidant in that I achieved my goal in showcasing the different styles and how they impact on character design in general.

The final render of the mc in the mild stylization; I like how this turned out despite it not resembling all of my notes well; the renders in my notes seem to be more refined or not refined at all however personally I think this strikes a good balance; I decided to remove the skull last minute as- this is planned to be a 16 game; and wearing an animal skull on your head doesn't particularly fit within PEGI 16 ratings.

final design + final colour placement; all thats left now is to clean the sketch and add shading details- I'm really proud of this design as it doesn't look too masculine meaning it still shows part of the main characters' femininity.
Personally I also really like this design in general; I really like the silhouette and the hair detailing, the idea of a braided mullet had never occurred to me before this project and I'm really glad I thought about it!

Final colour choices; chose these colours based on values, contrasting a dark value cloak with a light value top seemed like a good idea, thankfully with the execution it seems so as well. I am very happy with this palette; I really enjoy the green tones and the warmth of the colours in general.

Initial sketches and drafts of the mild stylisation section of my project; While doing my ideation I came across a refence image of an animal skull, this inspired me to actually include a skull in her design. I'm rather happy and proud of her design as it stands currently.
I've started to begin the colour planning however I am finding it hard to place and select what colours to use, because of this I have decided to randomly generate colour palettes on coolors.co and use them as a springboard for my colour exploration.

Finished lines and coloring of the final design in the cartoon section of my project; I struggle to make nice and clean lineart so this was definitely a challenge for me- I'm not over the moon with the lines however they do look good. The final flat shaded version reads well and still looks like the main character so I am pleasantly pleased with the outcome of it. My favorite part is probably the outfit itself, I loved the mask in concept however in lining it and coloring the appeal started to fade- however I believe this is due to my own personal skill level rather than the actual mask itself.

Colour alts and a simple anatomy guide; I made the anatomy guide for myself as each time I tried drawing the proportions I would inevitably mess them up- to avoid wasting more time than necessary I made this guide that I can now reference for the rest of the drawings; The colour alts here are on the rough sketch. This is different from the realistic one as grayscaling the cartoonish features would be extremely odd...
Also in my research I found most cartoon references were flat shaded or with no shading whatsoever ; because of this im following my research and continuing to finalize the design by cleanly lining it.
While making this design I had to use more references as the ones I collected in my research were not useful enough;
Overall right now I'm feeling really happy with this design; I think its probably my favorite out of the two made so far in my project.warrior designs had little to no patterning on them which actually helped me a great deal as I was struggling to think of where I was going to be putting said patterns.

Ideation of eyes; I think that exploring the different styles of eyes has definitely led me to some interesting discoveries; Originally I thought they'd have to be big an detailed however the simpler styles actually look much better- I didn't expect this at all.
Because of this discovery I am deciding to move forward with the middle draft/trial eye shape; to me this is the most polished and satisfying appearance of the eyes in this format. Before finalizing anything else though I will add a few more pose sketches of these eyes before I decide.
Same Date;
expressions and a very rough figure with the proposed eyes; I'm feeling quite happy with these eyes and how the suit the character and her personality.

Testing and experiments with ratios (head to body ratio) I tested with the 3 primarily common ratios seen in cartoon styles- I really only tested this because I felt like I was missing certain elements from my ideation that made it; 'less-cartoony' . Personally I like the 1:1 ratio the most but since I know I'm not always right I decided to poll people on discord on which design they liked better- The server is large (132 members) but I didn't expect anywhere near that number of people to vote- I'm pleasantly surprised that 22 people voted in general. Because of this my personal opinion has swayed- The 2:1 body to head ratio is rather more appealing. Because of this I'll go forward with this ratio in my further colour, style and fashion experiments.

Ideations; Starting on the heavy stylized portion of the project I'm a little weary since there isn't as many guidelines; I tried to try several different styles before kind of settling on the harder lined one? But im still not quite sure on it so I think I'm going to experiment with the style but with different ratios again. Other than that I have discovered that the mc's main signifying trait is her tomboyish aspects, because of this the hanbok styles dont really resemble the character much anymore, because of this I went back to my mood boards and used the more masculine ideas to draw from going forward.

Finished render; I'm extremely happy with how she turned out- the textures look good and I managed to fix the board as well! I'm thinking of moving onto my more cartoon-y style design; Below are color variations:
I'm super happy with the variations; and initially I thought blue and orange (third) would be the most fitting however- I actually prefer the red and blue alternate palette more! Because of this, I will be making the blue and red version the final version.

Current progress! I'm extremely proud and happy of how these textures are coming across more realistically than my first draft- I'm particularly happy with the dungaree-shorts the denim texture is very noticeable and makes me very happy!
However I am beginning to struggle with rendering the skateboard; especially the wheel- because of this I'm now using a reference of the same angle to help assist me with painting it! Reflecting back on my research- I notice that all my prop mock up poses all had reference, so I think this is probably a good option to use one to paint the board.
28/04/2021 - 29/04/2021
Adding more details; I began painting on the 28th however when I resumed work on the 29th I noticed the textures weren't as convincing as I had thought they were; because of this I looked at my references more and added tinier details such as stitching and seam lines; This greatly improved the textures a lot. I also focused on adding a more clear outline to the body as well and as such It actually made the figure look even more realistic which I am super happy about; recent progress shot below (10:50 AM)

Fleshing out designs; creating the first pose and mapping colours; I roughly mapped out some colours however, I realized that painting in color wasn't going to be as effective as painting in grayscale planes, to get around this I decided to paint a mock headshot of the character and then adding color on top of the grayscale mock. This also really helped me solidify how I wanted to start my approach to making these paintings
This is my value map for the character; adding darks where I wanted more focus and Light touches in the extremity areas. I did this as I think it gives the character a more cohesive feel- this and it also accentuates the skater vibe of the character.

Working on digital ideations/ fleshing out.
I felt like she was missing something, something that would make her a little more humanized really, so I decided to add something on her arms in which one idea led to another and slowly she's become a skateboarder. I feel like this suits her personality too and really gives her design a finished feel really. I'm still working on the graphic for her shirt; I decided to go with a 'knock-off' Atari which I have called 'Otori' simply because she is a video game enthusiast; especially with arcades and things. However I am struggling with the design as I have never made a decal or graphic like this before. I'm thinking of doing some more iterations or ideas for the decal too as the shirt designs (1+2) don't feel 'whole'. I hope that with a little research into retro logo designs that I can soon figure out how 'Otori' should look on her shirt.

Ideations and rough traditional sketches. I began my character development with rough ideations so I could get a rough idea on where I want to take this design going forward; These are really rough and aren't very representative of my realism character concepts as a whole, but for rough ideas I think they look pretty good. While making them I realized I wanted a shorter haired character in which I can portray a more androgynous look despite her feminine frame. While making these roughs it helped me attain how I was going to portray her Korean features within this rougher, sketchier style for the more digital ideations to come soon. My next steps are virtually the same except I will be doing them digitally to allow myself a sense of greater freedom to use references onto the canvas and to express aspects of her personality more.
(same day ; 15:02pm) I was using my research into techwear not heavily enough, so i started using those inspirations more; leaning into more buckles and straps and shorter hair... Still keeping the 90's retro vintage vibe is hard as these two aesthetics greatly clash but I feel as if my work is starting to take a better shape as I keep hashing out designs.
