The second assignment for Games Proposal involves designing two characters related to our chosen themes and modelling them. The catch is that one has to be low-poly (only 600 tris), the other high (around 6,000 tris).
I began my design by doing a quick brainstorm to decide which direction I wanted to go in. I've added an image of this below:-
As you can see, I was interested in designs that reflected either the lighter/darker sides of our natures or represented our more primal natures breaking out. In the end I chose to once again use Freud's theory of the Id, Ego and Superego for inspiration. See my notes of that from XB3001 post #4 for details about this theory.
I then created a mood board for each character. These can be seen below:-
