After completing my first creature model (Kygro) I was into thinking about my character creation. Most importantly I needed to look over the mistakes I made the first time around, this would be key in the progress and flow of the next model which was going to be an outers pace character of some kind.
Starting to sketch a couple of ideas, it came to me that I wanted to do an ‘Outer Space Bandit’ a creature from an undiscovered species that had landed on earth by accident. The reference images I was looking for were images of characters that were tall, skinny, slender etc. Ones that were kind of pointy as well. I wanted my character to have bigger hands and feet to create a more space character look and feel. Some reference images below:
