Nori

This character was a commission for my friend for a D&D campaign! My friend gave me the description and backstory for Nori, and then let me design them! I had so much fun figuring out how to make the design reflect the description I was given, while also fitting the character's backstory and personality!​

Rough Sketch

For my first rough sketch, I made sure to bring in a lot of references to help me get the main pose and larger details how I wanted them, waiting to focus on the smaller details.

Final Sketch

For my final sketch, I added more details and some props to show off more of the character's backstory and personality in their design. I also kept in a couple references for the coloring stage.

Lineart

For the lineart of this piece, I took a long time making sure everything looked correct before finalizing it. I also tried to implement a greater variety of line weight, giving the character a more interesting look.
