Hey, Jess here!
So I decided to do another random character design, because I liked how the first one turned out so much. I used the same method for this one as I did with the first (the pieces of paper). Only this time, my boyfriend picked out some pieces of paper. When he read what was written on them, he said to me with a very serious face "You HAVE to do this one". And I have to admit, it took me a while to actually start on this one, partly because I was very busy with exams and all. But when I finally started, I was having so much fun.
So the words I got were: "Viking", "Mage" and "Cute". This means I had to draw a cute Viking or mage.
When I started sketching, at first I wanted the magic to come from the hands. But when I got going, I decided to give my character a magical item too; a staff. I found the symbol that's on the end on the internet, but unfortunately I could not find what it means. Furthermore, I wanted to give my character the wellknown Viking helmet with the horns. But to make it a little more interesting I added (or removed) some things. First, I wanted to make one of the horns look broken, so people will start to wonder what might have happened. Then I added some sort of ring around the other horn to give it all a little more color. And lastly, I added another symbol to the drawing, this one on the helmet. I know this one is a war symbol, but the exact meaning is unknown to me.
Then I made my character have a little orange-ish hair. It's pretty typical for Vikings to have red hair, but I wanted mine to have a little lighter hair. I did this, because the clothes were going to be darker and I didn't want my whole character to be dark.
As I said, the clothes were goig to be dark. And so, I made it a mixture of dark blue and gray. Above that are all the leather parts like the belt and all, but also the boots are leather.
After that I worked on the staff. I decided to give it a gray color to match the horns a little, but I also wanted it to be more colorful. That's why I used a few different colors for the symbol. And the eyes have a bright color too. I'm not sure why, but I love drawing blue eyes. And for this drawing I thought it would match the blue-ish clothes well, so that kind of woked out.
A nice detail: for this picture, I used the flash on my camera. And by doing so it made it seem like the magic around his free hand actually glows. It's like a happy accident =)
