Skyrim

The game Skyrim has some of the most varied characters within its program. I have displayed some images of the characters that I felt would be suitable to look at in terms of creating my own fantasy character. These designs have unique qualities and also familiar ones which are icon for certain types of creature. I am interested in how the characters have been put together in order to portray a certain identity that can be understood pureply through the physical being. One of my favourite designs is the cracked, demon statue below this text, I think that the contrast in the white colour with the red and black components produce a powerful image. The contrast of lava-like material with the white cracked statue works very effectively. The goblin creatures in this selection of images have very angular faces with pointed ears. They generally have humoid noses with varying sizes, a lot of them have hair which is a segment that I must consider in the process of creating a design as this will be a lot of work on top of prosthetic if I were to create it. All of these colour schemes are mainly based around darker colours thereforethe tones create a sense of evil and agression. I will try to create a colour schemethat revolves around the darker tones of the spectrum. The Frost Troll character has a combination of flesh and hair which creates a powerful result, therefore I might consider creating a design that uses both prosthetics and hair to explore techniques and processes further. The Falmer character has a very interesting design on the forehead to create an intricate design. The continuation onto the nose makes a complete design that works really well. This suggests that I  must make sure that my overall character design has cohesion. Although these are designs for a game they have a high level of detail they are not quite at a level where I could use this in film, they would need to be altered slightly but it allows me to understand basic form to create a design that is professional and successful.
