Here Comes A New Challenger!

Ok so as I've been generating ideas for the past 5 days but only just started blogging, this stuff is back dated work, but I will talk you through my process anyway!

Well as the last one stated, I wanted to fit a character to a specific criteria.Originally I was opting towards an Ancient Chinese theme, producing a 'Dynasty Warrior'. And yes! I'm fully aware there are currently 1 billion games with this title, but that is essentially what they are.

Something like this is what I had in mind (In terms of design process, and style etc. my character thoughts weren't taken straight from the game).

But the more I thought about it, and the more I looked into it online, I realised that with their massive fan base, and their huge variety of characters, it would be hard to create something I would feel is completely my own, so I decided it was time to think of something else without completely scrapping my idea of a very historical, culture driven character. So I started thinking about other categories of exaggerated historical groups, like Pirates or Native Americans, and I know they aren't exaggerated in the sense they don't exist, but they both have very mythological backgrounds.

The more I thought about my original character idea for the Dynasty Warrior, the more I realised how much of it I could translate to a Native American design.

I started looking through images of Native Indian warriors, and realised that it's not really been explored that much with in the games industry, in fact when I tried to find any of them more than 50% were just stand alone characters from fighting games. That's when I decided on taking the challenge to produce a Native American character suitable for a video game (That's not part of the Assassins Creed franchise -_-).
