Kazzar

Tools: Sketches / Adobe Illustrator / Adobe Photoshop / Bamboo Tablet
Personal Project
Spring 2013

Goal: The artistry and creativity involved in creating video games and anime characters motivate me. I have designed over 200 characters in the last ten years because I enjoy the process of creating original characters and I aim to improve my skills.

Process: The character Kazzar was inspired by the movie Terminator and Ryuk from Death Note. I started making different doodles about this character without thinking about the final result. Then I started working on the final sketch in which I was trying different things with the design while keeping in mind that he must be a robot with big eyes and mechanical wheels located on his chest. Upon completing the design, I imported a scanned image of the sketch in Illustrator to make a clear and smooth outline. Finally, I imported the ai file of the outline in Photoshop and worked on the colors and shadows using a Bamboo Tablet.

Result: I was able to create a unique character with an extraordinary attitude and appearance that suggest stratagem, strength, and wickedness. In addition, I was able to improve my shading and texturing skills in Photoshop.
