Legend of Legaia part 1

This is a commission piece I'm currently working on for a friend. He wanted me to draw the three main protagonists from the Playstation One game "Legend of Legaia". I already know that the female character's face is jacked up, but the photoshop render will be much better (I hope). The designs and costumes are pretty much based on how they are in the game - the only things that really "changed" were their weapons, and I might change them a bit again once I get into photoshop. They may also be rearranged, but that is yet to be determined. They were all done on the same sheet of 9X12 sketch paper in graphite. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory, and with that I'll say Vaya con Dios.

Native American Concept Sketches



























First off, I would like to apologize for my absence in the past month - some things have been happening that I am quite proud to say have happened. And now on to the work - these sketches were done for a character I had developed very quickly. He is a Native American (not sure if a warrior or a shaman or whatever) who is traveling in search of his place among his people as well as within the world. Along his travels he encounters many grueling obstacles, many of which are based in Native American folklore. These designs were created in order to help the team I have recently joined decide on what project we should work on (unfortunately my idea was not chosen, but I have not abandoned the idea). There really wasn't any general direction I was going with this, since it was such an early idea - I pretty much based him on real-world cultural fashion from different tribes. With that being said, I know that I would like to further develop this character, if for nothing else to put as a professional portfolio piece. Each was done on 9X12 sketch paper in standard graphite. I hope you all like him as much as I did creating him. Vaya con Dios.
