Concepts, characters, and caffeine

Man this semester's really starting to become a major juggling act. I guess I'm used to that now. Anyway, because I'm doing a crossover between my drawing class and this animation class, I've done some photoshop/mudbox concepts that are useful for both of my assignments. Here's a couple that I've managed to make.

And here's an example of a mudbox sculpt that I used in those photoshop compositions:

Part of this project is redesigning the old features, because it's a character that was drawn and sculpted prior to this course.
This was a drawing of the character I made about a year ago.

And here's the sculpture that was made afterwards:

Now I've evaluated the character, and taken features that needed to be improved, like the mask and certain armour pieces.

Now I just need to start modelling the character and do some orthographic drawings, stay tuned.
