Here are some more sketches of the character itself, before concentrating on his surroundings and the first hand equipment he will interact with. Here i have looked into equipment aswell as character aspearance.
I have taken some pictures of local buildings, in which i feel fit well with the animation i wish to achieve. i am going to copy these pictures onto a graphic tablet. this gives me the opportunity to take the right colours in my pictures and bring them into the scene. here also deciding what scene the character belongs best in, weather in rain, an urban surrounding, or even a desert climate. i planned to use a desert surrounding, much like the situation in contemporary war zones. Although, i do have limited research on these grounds so i may take another approach on the animation, which may work better for me. being an urban state, much like terraced houses or a village.
