Character Design

A character design for our ongoing Concept Art unit. I can´t say that I am satisfied with the result but I learned a lot on this one. The task was to create a steampunk/orient hero, villain or robot minion. This one is Vasili Orloff, a russian merchant on his duty to sell oil to mechanical caravans on their way trough the desert. The bear next to him is his companion Sascha, a loyal friend and oil carrier. I was not sure if a bear could fit into the hot climate of a desert and thought about giving him a cooling unit on his back. In the end, I favoured the idea of a little umbrella and a cap because of its weight. The gear plus the oil barrels would have been to much. Hope you like it.
