Protagonist initial sketches

Antagonist initial sketches

combining designs

These are my first sketches of the two characters in my world.

Protagonist - As the protagonists soul is missing, I needed to make it look like they are soulless. In my first design I had the idea of making them more human like, but the design felt to cluttered and complicated so I simplified it. I took inspiration from the game hollow knight, as the game is a souls game. In my final sketch, I combined the previous designs, I decided to give them a mask as I like the idea of them having no expression as they would be emotionless; I also decided to give them a cape as it would make them seem dangerous and mysterious.

Antagonist - For my initial sketch of my antagonist, I knew that I wanted them to be a floating body with 3 sets of arms (for the 3 siblings), however I initially wanted it to be 6 different dimensions for 6 siblings, but i soon realised that it would be too much for the time limit I have. I drew out 4 different designs with the idea that i wanted it to look like a powerful god. I chose the 3rd design, when i looking at it, i feel inferior to it and it looks like it holds all the power. I then developed this design, adding a crown which made it feel more ominous.
