[SchoolProject - June/July] JRPG Character Design Research

Made in June/July
-------------------------------
Final School Project- "Character Designer, showing hints of story and gameplay through visual tools"
Character n°2 - JRPG Protagonist
Full process of designing a character while taking notes and hint through various game-genre character designer.
In this project I'm showing how a character designer's job is to give players instant feedback and hint through a design for gameplay or story/Origin while still keeping a cool and striking visual design.
This one is for a JRPG Character, I went at first with a Final Fantasy/ Fire Emblem character in mind, but quickly changed for a SMT/Persona inspired style of character with a Modern JRPG character in mind instead of a Fantasy one but still keeping that cool factor from FF. The red color is visually striking, so is the jacket design and pattern, that I feel help him strike a heavy impression.
