During week 1, we were assigned group work to make characters and environments in the art style of Röki. I took the role of Character Artist and I have to model character that are in the style of Röki's game art style. I will be using Maya for this assignment, and I will be modelling a character and posing them.
We decided that to fit in with Röki's Scandinavian/Norse mythology we would also take a scene from that same mythos. To do this we aim to show a scene set after Ragnarök (An end of the world event where a wolf destined to destroy everything which was chained up was set free by the sword of the God of the Sun).
The Environment designers have come up with the idea of Ragnarök and they planed the environment in an old cave with chains and a sword in the middle of the cave. To match up with the environmental artists, the character designers have decided to base their character designs off the Ragnarök theme. We are planning to add characters such as a Wolf, Thor, Heimdall, Frail/Old guardsman, Old Wise Woman/Seer, Lingering Spirit and a Raven.
Here is the Miro board where all our ideas go for the entire team to see and approve:
We had to find references that we can base our characters off. I decided to look at some clothing that the characters could wear:
Fluff Fur coat (Found at home)
Stylized Fur
For the wolf design we have been inspired by these images:
Female figure wearing Wolf head and fur coat
Death (Wolf) from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2021)
