Character design class begins in earnest.
Premise: create three characters (a hero, a boss, and a minion of the boss) as though they were to appear in a videogame. Each had to be easily identifiable in silhouette. Sadly, the minion got short shrift in this regard, but that's just the nature of the beast.
We were assigned randomly suggestion sheets written by our fellow classmates, and I got a bunch of half-assed ones, but the ridiculously titled "Divine Umbrella Chronicles" had potential unlike the incredibly familiar "Hell's Kitchen" or "Curse of the Jade Emperor."
It was the umbrella that sold me, really.
Anyway, I ended up researching too fucking much like usual and left only hints of it in the finished work. (Mostly in the names of the boss and hero, which are based on a notorious arms dealer and a Hindu goddess, respectively. Not that anyone gave a flying fuck, but hey, I CARE.)
Spoiler: The Hero(ine)
Spoiler: The Boss
Spoiler: The Minion
I didn't have time to color them, but you get the idea.
When I get my first assignment from Painting back, I'll have a scan of that to show as well.
On to designing mechs.
