CHARACTER DESIGN: GANGSTER/DON
This project required us to design a character with turnarounds and character details.
Here are some of the guidelines provided:
Character: Murphy [Gangster/Don]
Characteristics: Hot-headed, Calculative, Angry, Monotonous, Silent
Background: Age: 36 / Skin color: Fair / Origin: Caucasian / Height: 5'11
Habits: Likes to fight, gamble and engage in thievery. Likes to smoke, extort and beat up his foes as well.
Style: Semi-realistic / Simplified
Appearance: Animation, cartoon, game, graphic design
Using the provided guidelines, I have come up with the key aspects of my character with a story summary for him.
NAME: Murphy Coppola
PROFESSION: Leader of the "Four Diamond Clan"
BACKSTORY: Murphy was raised by his uncles and other figures with great power in the city, he has seen it all, the crimes, the violence, the money, and he participated in all of it as well, he found thrill and freedom and enjoyed his days. He is a loner by nature and doesn't trust his own guardians when it comes to power and money. His moral compass is questionable at times as he sometimes helps the same hands he steals from. People have enough respect for him to not utter a word to the authorities, and he isn't one to be afraid of them.
MOODBOARD:
TURNAROUNDS OF THE CHARACTER:
ACCESSORIES:
COMPLEXITIES: Getting the perspective was a bit tough for me, that is, posing the character, how he would turn or look.
Things Learnt: The process as a whole was educational, and I enjoyed it a lot as well, learnt a few quick techniques which will surely come handy in future projects.
