Ky’mberlee Turnaround (WRPDAD)

This week I completed the turnaround for Ky'mberlee for Emily's project. As Ky'mberlee is a static character who will be used for still images she didn't need a four point turnaround and could be more detailed in general. This has helped me catch up on my work as it was one less pose to complete overall.

For characters in this style also decided to create a shading guide as their shading is more complex then the bulabites will be.

Finalising Character - Ky'mberlee (WRPDAD)

Here is the finalised design and colour scheme for Ky'mberlee the Cat Goddess.

- Vibrant green hair to make it stand out and give her a more alien appearance, with yellow ribbons to compliment this.
- Focused on blues that gave her a soft yet regal feel rather than more intense colours.
- Yellow make-up around her eyes to make them stand out.
- Orange eyes to stand out.
- Hair looks long and thick with a strong and smooth structure
- Overall very light and flowy design to give the impression of an etherial being.

As this designed has been cleared I can now move forward with creating the turn around, and begin work on the other humanoid character, Jazz.

Initial Sketches - Ky'mberlee (WRPDAD)

Here I have been working on the initial sketches for the Cat Goddess (Ky'mberlee). Because she is part of the backgrounds I was asked to prioritise her and the other humanoid character (Jazz), so I have been mostly focusing on her over the protagonists.

- Designed to look like a marketable mid 2000's anime girl with the classic long straight hair, middle parting bangs and big eyes.
- Initially struggled finding a focus for her outfit as it had to be very anime while looking vaguely alien but still human.
- Tested designs that had a more magical girl vibe or youthful feel but these didn't work with her character.
-Decided to focus on using a longer dress with layers to give her the princess/goddess vibes we were looking for.
- Keeping the patterns fairly simple as to not make her look too out of place.
