I decided to pick this helmet as it used all of the elements of the research that I had done. This includes the red feather, golden rim and silver helmet shape. I also
went with a large nose to give the character a more friendly appeal.
I decided to pick this body as it was easy to draw in flash and shows a definite line between the front and back of the character, as well as his armor. I took inspiration from the real roman soldier drawing.
I chose the three finger hand as it was easy to draw and
shows a good representation of a real human hand. The thumb can also be used to add to the realism of the
character.
I decided to add a toga to my soldier as it will add complexity to
the simple body armor shape.
Ideas + Design
I used a three strap sandal as this is what actual Roman soldiers war, as depicted by all the research that I did. I also chose the feet to be rounded and toeless, making them easier to animate without
loosing the relevance to my influences.
Complete Character Ideas
Final
Character
Using all of the different parts of my character I designed 7
complete designs, after this I rated them all out of 5 and
chose the best design. With a few tweaks I redrew it in flash
and coloured it in to be animated.
