Moodboard time

Ok so ive compiled a load of images that i think will help anyone reading this to more clearly understand the world in my imagination of which my character is based. The moodboard includes forests and mountains and an all round general idea of the wilderness which a lot of the world my character is in consists of. Castles and towns are found in this world also but are few and far between and many may be destroyed, abandoned or occupied by hostiles. There are a few dragons on the moodboard too in addition to the small ammount of gathered images earlier in this blog, the armour my character wears is a traditional dragon style armour and what i mean by that is it has spikes and will be a red/orange/yellow mix to immitate fire.

A short insight into the backstory of my character.

******* - not decided on an exact name yet...

My character lived on the continent of ******** in one of the major cities ******** before the war came and destroyed most of civilised life on the continent. The vast majority of the land is wilderness which gives the impression that in this world its every man for himself, this is the case for a lot of Thoracus' life after the war and destruction of his home. He is a man aged around 40 with a 12 year old son who he never lets leave his side. He has learned to survive by not trusting people who have not earned it, being superior in skill of arms and remaining hidden most of the time. There is a hint of magic in the universe my character lives in but evidence would show it has not been harnessed or discovered as much as in other stories and is only in its early stages.

This image was produced to give the character a more striking dynamic
pose and angled picture. It was my first ever go on a graphics tablet and
i really enjoyed it, ill be using them again for sure. Also happy with the
image i produced.

This character was one of my initial ideas and designs done straight on paper with pen, i scanned it in and played around with it in photoshop a little bit and got some results i liked, i had the idea that my character would be the mentor or guardian architype so i then produced the character above these on the graphics tablet and will continue to experiment with the guardian idea from now.
