found characters 02

Inspiration 

I chose this image because of the bushes lined along the side. I found the textures interesting as well as the different shapes cut into them.  I was specifically drawn to the bush in the front because I thought it looked like a person. 

The second I saw the image (which I took on vacation so it is still my own) I saw a person with a headpiece and a dress. So I wanted to explore that and see what I could come up with. I saw a couple of things. a cool texture for clothes being one. The other is a kind of fuzzy head shape. so the character could be kind of fuzzy or prickly.

Sketches

I drew a character named Oakley. I used the bush texture and shape to make a formal dress. I also designed the charter so that his body is like the stem/sticks of the bush and his clothes are more like the leaves. I also made a little vine crown. 

Theory 

I think the characters should be super strong. they are very thin and seem frail do to their skinniness but if they have the power of say earth/plants they could be super powerful. so i would do the semi inverted trope. making the weak seeming character be super powerful. 

for gameplay I think it is best to have his power grow over time. so he learns his power/potential as the game or mission goes own. his opponents underestimating h because of his size as well.  I want them to be like the cute creature no one would think could be a fighter.
