Villain.
Above is the first screen shot from my villain that i am creating, i have chosen to have him this posture as a non threatening not only because i have not tried a pose like this yet but also because in his bio he is not a conventional villain, he is seen by most as a hero and only one
person knows his true identity, so it was important for him to have a calm and welcoming pose.
As you can see that from my last screen shot a lot of detail has been added, scars have been added and this is to go along with the theory that villains are often scarred or disfigured in some sort of way, for example Darth Vader wears a mask to help him breath leaving him disfigured, i knew that with my villain i needed a disfigurement but as in the bio he needs to be a hero to the public so the disfigurement can not be too damaging so he still looks normal.
Here is where i began too add colour to my villain, i wanted him to be neutral but deadly. I have chosen an ice cold blue to signify that he is a villain however i have chosen a neutral blue as again as i have said he needs to be seen as a hero to others apart from our protagonist. I have chosen red scars as this contrasts with the blue and shows that he is evil and like i explained disfigured.
Design choices
As you can see from the image above i have chosen to give my character this satchel that he is holding and that is red because it symbolises the dangers that are within in, within the bag is a large amount of poisonous gases that kill people, and the hat has a yellow lamp on it, that is there because when he is in the gas after he has released it he can then see where he needs to go and work his way through the gases. I have chosen to give him a scar through his eye as this symbolises a serious disfigurement and also the claw marks around his neck in a series of three showing possible collision with an animal in the past.
Here is his lower half, here we can see the lower half of the satchel that he keeps his poisonous gases in but what is most important here are the red syringes that we can see around his waist. These are important because the gas that he releases in poisonous and will kill all who get caught in it, however the gas will disperse after an hour and this syringe contains a cure that makes him immune to the poisonous gases allowing him to move around freely in the gas.
final character and bio.
This is my finished villain, he was an employee that worked for the biggest gas company in Britain however after being faulsy accused of stealing dangerous gases from the science department, he lost his job and for not being able to pay the the bills he lost his house, wife and son. He became determined on revenge against those who framed him for the theft of dangerous gases and in his search he became stronger and more powerful from exposure to these dangerous gases. After he had revenge he still felt empty, it had not brought back his wife and son and with no where to go or anyone too see he found a way to capture these gases, control them and used his new found evil personality that had taken over him completely to rid the world of people and civilisations that he did not see fit into his warped idea of what a world should be.
He found an antidote that he could use in situations to make his body immune from the gases, over the years the gases became more and more dangerous making him have to use up more and find a stronger anti dote that he can use when the gases have been released. When he was first discovering what the gases could do he took a trip to a small location out in the moors in England too see just how affective they were at wiping out small villages, he found a village and released a small amount of gas that worked its away around the village wiping out the humans as it crept through streets and houses, however in the mist he was attacked by a massive dog the size of a great dane, however obviously changed by the gas to have sharp claws, black eyes and razor sharp teeth, this is where the scarrs on his face come from. The dog died from the gas however from this small village a boy would survive who hell bent on his own mission to find who killed his family when he was young and destroy the gas man himself.
Hero
On the screen shot below you can see that as i have chosen too use black and dark colours to represent my hero, this goes against conventions of having characters and heroes being in bright and bold colours to represent their heroism and bravery. However my character is an anti-hero, he is perceived as being the villain that actually turns out to be the hero at the end, other characters like this that i could relate the character too could be maybe Dante, from the devil may cry series.
I had too invert the outlines so that i could see where the outline of my character was so that i could colour the character properly and to the best of my ability.
Final character bio
This is a man named Dexter Williams, he is a boy who grew up in a small village in the middle of the english moors until one night when a mysterious myst fell over his village. As his parents perished in the gas that mysteriously appeared he runs out to the town square with his jumper over his mouth and nose. He hears the high pitched squeal of a dog dying as he turns he see's a man...a man at the centre on the gas's origin wearing a shirt and with an open sack of gas pouring out. He makes eye contact with this mysterious man who then vanished into the darkness.
He was about to take his last breath when the gas disappeared, with his life and his memories of his villages demise he began training and declared that he would find this gas man and take revenge for everyone he hurt. In his older years he follows the gas man around the world, shadowing him and rescuing civilians when he released the gas making himself a hero, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take out the gas man for his family and his village.
