Tales of the Elders - Gibby - Forever happy wizard
Gibby used to be an advisor to the king of the European Medieval region before he became an alcoholic and drug addict. He was known to be a skillful tactician and manipulator. It confuses many how and why Gibby became the way he is today, but everyone agrees he no longer possess the mind he once had.
Gibby is almost always drunk or high on herbs which inherently makes him forever relaxed and pretty chill all around. Even when in conflict he is happy and cheerful, carefree of any danger that may befall him.
This one of the three main characters in my personal IP I have been working on recently.
Character sheet
Final design
Anatomy
character abilities + animation ideas
rough sketches trying to determine the pose I should use for the final design
iterations of bags, belts and a badge on bags straps
design questions I asked myself after choosing the design I was going to continue with, although the final didn't really differ much from this, apart from the staff actually having a design.
More refined staff iterations
Testing the staff designs on the character
Initial staff designs
Initial designs, didn't follow the usual process for this character, joined a few stages into these coloured outfit designs
earlier pose sketches, did these earlier on to get a better sense of the personality of this character right from the start of development
Head designs focused on shape design and exaggeration. Final design was a rounder version of design 6 to make him look friendlier.
