Character and Prop Design

As soon as we moved onto this section, I instantly knew what character I wanted to design. In the last assignment, I attempted to make a ‘plague doctor’ helmet design. Due to my lack of skills, I was unable to complete it. This is shown below.

Because of this I wanted to expand upon the plague doctor idea and came up for a basic design for an ogre-like plague doctor character. I did some colour swatches as thoughts too before going into the blocking for the sculpt. As I sculpted, I expanded more on the design of the character and changed some details. My quick design sketch is shown below. For the prop, I decided to go for a pumpkin lantern that my character will carry on his shoulder. I feel like this would help add to the slight ominous vibe and stays within the theme of monsters and spookiness.
