Sci-fi Character Design

Character design

This character design is inspired by the medieval plague doctor. Because I didn't want it to be too monotonous, I incorporated elements of futuristic technology. This character leans more towards a mad scientist archetype.

Regarding the clothing: I chose a Western style. For his coat, I used a white lab coat typically worn by doctors. As for the cloak, I designed it as a half-cape that resembles the shape of a raven. The halo above his head symbolizes the concept of a "white angel."

Weapon Design

I designed this character's weapon to be enormous, creating a sense of contrast. The doctor is no longer traditionally limited to medical instruments; instead, he wields a cannon to attack enemies.

The ammunition for this weapon comes from the character's own concoctions. This potion-infused ammo fills the bullets, giving them a poisonous attribute when fired

Silhouettes

Before designing this character, I drew many silhouettes to determine the final appearance of the character.

WIP

Before adding color, I refine the line art of the character to facilitate the subsequent coloring process. This involves cleaning up the lines, defining important features, and ensuring clarity in the overall design. By refining the line art, I create a solid foundation for the coloring stage, making it easier to apply colors accurately and effectively.

Character Three Views

I've drawn three views of the character as well as action poses. Regarding the action aspect, I feel his fighting style should be more aggressive than what we typically associate with doctors. This way, he can effectively utilize his weapons.

Colour Scheme

I tried many combinations of color schemes, but ultimately decided to use red and white as the primary colors.

The red and white represent the spirit of doctors saving lives. I added a touch of green to reflect the character's dual nature as a doctor with a hint of madness. The character's shirt and pants are black to signify their involvement in illicit activities under the guise of a doctor, indicating their inner darkness.
