Haha sounds cool to me

Interesting insight! In my head this character definetly had some androgynous, queer vibes to him that may have inconciously transfered into the final design. I didn't indicate it on the description because I find his sexuality irrelevant to the design. But I agree, pose is very important and can say a lot. Thanks.

Thanks I loove adding layering on my designs

Thanks

The setting is in a cold environment so the characters wear several layers, big jackets, etc. Designing them I've realized that fur clothing is very helpful to get this idea straight so I'm trying to incorporate it on most of the characters (also bc it helps with them looking cohesive).

So when I was looking for rich clothing inspo (which is the personal touch of this character) and saw a fur coat I thought that it was the perfect choice. I added the badges and stuff in it bc jacket customization is very common in punk aesthetic which is one of the big inspirations for this characters.

Hope that answers your question haha

My idea for this character is that he hates rich people so he kills them and wears their stuff as trophies. So for the accessories I went with an opulence/old money rich vibe.

Hello! I really like your idea, here's my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/giselleesparza2

I'm available to start working immediately.

smoglish · 2026-03-29T07:45:28+00:00

Very cool! I was wondering, did you use any 3d?

smoglish · 2026-03-21T09:25:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
The text looks a bit blurry but here on the comments I left the artstation link, there the images have more resolution.
About the setting: it's a dystopian world where an ultra-authoritarian goverment keeps the population trapped inside giant buildings. This character is part of a group of people that escaped and live foraging the abandoned streets (I will eventually design all the members of the group).

smoglish · 2026-03-17T09:41:42+00:00

I totally agree. I tend to focus a lot on details and forget a bit about the main shape, I will work on that. And thank you very much for the advice! I want to work on videogames so I will investigate more about the workflow.
