Sindri Folkor — An Exploration in Character Creation

As a part of a class that went over concept development for animation, we were given the opportunity to create and develop a character that could be used in animation.  Concept work included material such as character turn-arounds, character walks, and creating a palette. Below I've compiled a collection of work done for this character, including a hand drawn animated walk cycle.
Sindri Folkor is a blind elf that I first created back in 2019 to be used in various table top role playing games.  The drawing on the left is his original sketch and the one on the right was a fun little doodle to be used in the project's mood board.
Character turn-around.  I decided to switch out the braid for a simple ponytail.  Much easier to draw repeatedly.
The eight basic frames for a character walk cycle.
A background I created to showcase the fantasy world I initially envisioned him to live in.  I decided to try a new style to create a more dream-like scene.
