Week 1 - The Team

  Here's my character design from the first Toolkit 2 session - we were tasked in groups with coming up with a team of characters that looked like they belong together. The group I was in decided to go with a D&D theme, and I was tasked with designing the leader of the team. This guy isn't the smartest or the strongest, but he is very charismatic, the glue that holds the team together. He's also a bard, fitting the D&D theme.

Hey there I'm Isaac, currently studying at games art at NTU, aspiring to be either a concept artist or creature/character designer.     I love birds and dragons, used to go to Wollaton Park often to feed the crows :) here's some photos I took of them, little guy in the top left is a jackdaw.     I chose to do games art because I would like to make games, and I enjoy making art. I was also really interested in learning the 3D side of things, as I had pretty much no experience in that. One of my favourite games of all time is Undertale, but I also really love most Nintendo franchises as well as Sonic, Hollow Knight, and Neon White. Here's some moth doodles/ studies: It's hard to choose artwork for this - mostly because a lot of my old, non uni stuff isn't as good as my current work, but if anyone's curious/ wants to have a look at anything else I've done then you can find me on instagram @birdmanip
