Captain Character Project #5

 

Moving forward with my robot captain, I created various colour iterations to try and get the feel of a rebellious yet trustworthy leader. I aimed to have the majority of the robot one colour with breaks of contrast scattered in various places sparingly. I did this to not overwhelm the design or make it so the robot looked too new and shiny. I also had to consider that since I aimed to make this a stylized piece, the colours shouldn’t obscure too much of the overall design.

 


With these colour variations, I got feedback from tutors on what they thought was suitable for the type of captain I was aiming for. With they’re feedback in mind, I chose to not use the darker coloured variants because they read as a more sinister and evil captain which I wasn’t going for. This left the lighter toned palettes as my main options.

From those colour variations, I ended up choosing the last option. It was a bit more muted in colour which made it seem as though the robot was older and had been used more, but it also still had the sections of colour which made it visibly striking. To add to this, the details of the graffiti on the body signified to some storytelling aspects to the character (whether the robot marked itself or something else did It I’m not too sure). 

Having picked which colour scheme I was going to use, I could start moving forward to the final stages of the character- the final render.
