FISHERMAN

Character Design

I decided that this burly figure should be a fisherman. He's wise and world-weary, having spent most of his life ruled by the mercurial tempers of the sea.

I began with a doodle. I wanted to create a character who belongs in a historical fantasy setting, and as I drew my ambitions for this character grew bigger and bigger. I wanted him to be an adventurer, or map-maker, or rugged sailor who has seen more of the world than most men. I also envisioned him as a merchant, someone wealthy and imposing who peddles exotic luxury items. I realized right away that my ideas were too much for any one character; I needed to organize my thoughts, pick some key traits, and build from there.

I refined the proportions of the figure and his prized catch.
