William concept art

Start creating concept art for William. Look at his character topic for his description.

A quick, not-coloured concept for William wearing the church garb. I'll work on the rest of his wardrobe later.

now that is pretty kewl

That is quite literally the perfect style of clothing! Well done good sir!

The hair looks a little weird to me right now, but that's probably just because there isn't a face to go with it, or perhaps because it's not colored/shaded. Idk, it will probably turn out great as more detail is added in.

A few small things:
1. Shoes - you said you'd work on it later, so I'll trust you on this one.
2. Neck - seems too thin.
3. Sword - scabbard shouldn't be sticking through his sash (painful). I would have the scabbard tied to the side of the sash.

Looks like a great start. I agree with winkio that the hair seems not quite right at the moment. The feet also look like they could use a little more work. Everything else looks great!

I think I know what you were trying to do with the hair. The tonsure is the right idea, but you've done it too big. Also, I think that hair below the top of the ears of a tonsure is shorter than hair above.

The sword looks nice. I haven't been reading the development threads since I've been away on self imposed complex related exile. Is the sword the definite weapon? I just don't think it's very...clerical.

winkio · March 10, 2011, 01:38:05 pm

I see nothing wrong with the sword. Keep in mind these aren't Christian monks we are talking about, but members of the Church of the Overgod. They have some divine combat powers from the overgod, so I don't see anything wrong with a sword (or any other weapon for that matter).

Agreed; those are my thoughts on the matter as well.

Very well, sword it is. But I think the other two characters ought to have other weapons.

The way I understand it is that William is able to use the majority of weapons; just because he is depicted with a sword in his concept art doesn't necessarily mean that it is the weapon he'll be using the whole game.

winkio · March 10, 2011, 03:08:32 pm

Yeah, I like the idea of each character using multiple weapons. Instead of Sword 1, Sword 2, Sword 3, it could be sword, rapier, tonfa, brass knuckles, etc.

The Niche · March 10, 2011, 03:16:51 pm

Definitely. Winkio, you genius.

I can try different colour combinations if this one doesn't work.

Also, here's a possible version of William's outfit after accepting help from the wizards:

Spoiler: Show

(The circle on his shoulders (from the church garb) and the triangle at the secondaru outfit are intended to be the overgod and three-creators symbols, respectively.)

I'm not sure if a tonsure would fit a main character as it would make him look kinda old imo...

I'd like to hear/see some hair suggestions and I'll draw a few variants until we get to something that works (I'll try the tonsure too, anyways xP).

He is a monk...Anyway, long hair, shoulder length, perhaps? But less expansive, definitely. The way you have it now is just...there isn't a smiley for it.

Hatsamu · March 16, 2011, 04:30:17 pm

Perhaps a mix of

and

?

winkio · March 16, 2011, 06:47:38 pm

What about short black hair?

Spoiler: Show

EDIT: also, white clothes with blue trim instead of blue with red trim?

WhiteRose · March 19, 2011, 01:50:57 pm

I do think white would probably seem more fitting. Maybe with a pale blue or yellow trim?

The Niche · March 19, 2011, 01:58:55 pm

I'd say deep blue, honestly.
