Dark Fantasy Protagonist – Character Design
character design project created for a Fiverr client developing an indie action RPG inspired by dark fantasy games.
The goal was to design a memorable main character that could adapt to different gameplay situations while maintaining a consistent silhouette and personality. The project explores multiple outfit variations, including hooded, unhooded, and cloakless versions, presented from several angles to support production and in-game implementation.
This commission focuses on character iteration, costume design, readability, and maintaining visual consistency across multiple views.
Created as a freelance commission through Fiverr.
Character exploration
The design was developed through multiple outfit variations, exploring how different levels of armor and clothing could affect the character's silhouette and personality.
Costume variations
Three different states of the character were explored: a fully covered version with hood and cloak, a lighter cloak version, and a more vulnerable cloakless version.
Character turnaround
Front, side and back views created to maintain consistency of proportions, costume details and silhouette.
Opening scene concept
A key moment from the beginning of the game, portraying the character as he mourns a loved one and establishing the emotional tone of his journey.
