Underwater Magician – Character Design.

Personal project: a high-level underwater mage from an alien deep-sea civilization.
I explored the character’s armor shapes, silhouette and helmet design, then refined the final pose and lineart and rendered the illustration in color. The main weapon, called “Sword Funnel”, exists in two states – a calm crystal spear and an activated form with magical energy flowing around the blade.
In this project you can see:
• final character sheet with the mage and his weapon
• key art with short lore and abilities
• weapon close-ups (idle and magic state)
• color variations of the armor and silhouette exploration
• early sketches and clean lineart showing the workflow
