I started off doing shape designs for characters and doing simple perspective drawings with the simple designs.
I had a hard time coming up with a character design, until I decided on a western themed vampire hunter. His name is the wanderer.
He is a bounty hunter who goes after creatures, because one of them took his arm. I chose this type of character,because I am a fan of action horror. He is mostly constructed of squares. I took some inspiration from Ash Williams from the Evil Dead as to what his personality is like. When it comes to visual inspirations, the main two are Ryoma from Getter Robo Armageddon and Marv from Sin City.

He faces against a vampire for his first opponent.
This is pretty much a standard vampire, though I picture mine having more body elements to it, similar to John Carpenter’s The Thing. When it comes to visual inspiration, I looked at Yutaka Mimosa’s character designs, particularly his work on Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust.
