We were given the assignment of designing a Steampunk thing, I say thing as it could be either a person or something like a vehicle or machine. I had quite a bit of fun doing this assignment as I find character design to be the most enjoyable form of game art.

First set of sketches. All of these sketches were done in the free version of Mishchief.

More Sketches. You can see one of the first sketches I did and how the style took a crazy-sharp turn.

More Sketches. I'm proud of the Neckbeard in the hat.

More more sketches. That's a penny-farthing with an engine. 

More sketches with free steam-robot.

A very displeased looking person.

The moodboard. The art and costumes are good but the cat makes it.

The finished character. I wanted him to look Steampunk-y without an abuse of cogs and gears.

I found this to be one of the more enjoyable assignments but I find that, for me, coming up with quick designs and sketches is a lot more fulfilling and enjoyable that having to do a fully worked piece. Although this may change as I get better with Photoshop.
