A character design created for class. I'm interested in the Italian Renaissance, and so used the period as the foundation for this character. Designs from games such as Assassin's Creed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance were also major inspirations. This was my first time creating a detailed character going from thumbnailing to a beauty painting, and it forced me to pay more attention to proportions, anatomy, clothing and props than before. I'm pretty happy with the result.
