Live Brief 3: Knytes and Lis'Belle


So far I have completed two of the character designs for this brief. The process I have been using for this brief involves creating a set of rough sketches to show off my initial ideas, sending these off to the client who gives feedback, and then moving forward with creating a clean version.

Both of these finished designs have been cleared by the client. So far, progress has been somewhat stagnated as I'm often having to push for the information I need for the designs. However, this seems to be good practice for working in the industry and for clients.

They have also asked for the first 3 characters to be finished by the 1st of May so I will be working to get this done as an interim submission date, as the remaining characters will be given to the client after the deadline for this module.

Knytes is the protagonist of the game and acts as the cool, calm and collected leader. He's a robot who values honour above all else and never says more then is needed, he's very straight to the point.

As such his design is very structured and pointed to match his personality. He uses a silver and blue colour scheme with vibrant blue highlights to act as accent colours. I also had to make sure that he didn't have any robotic parts showing, so I chose to use cloth in areas to hide anywhere where skin would normally show.

For Lis'Belle, she is described as a young (around 15) but highly intelligent and skilled magician, but is also exceptionally bratty. She's short tempered and has little respect for authority, but overall her heart is in the right place.

The client requested she had a darker colour pallet that was mostly black with purple details. She meant to look like she's just walked out of medieval hot topic. As such she's pretty stylish and has a bit of a goth aesthetic going on with an overall witchy vibe.

I liked the idea of parts of her outfit being asymmetrical so created a section of her skirt that uses plaid rather then the usual black fabric, as well as gave her a belted bag that falls on the opposite side. She also has a lot of lace to give it that extra edgy vibe while still being youthful.
