Blood Knight Character Design

Blood Knight Character Concept

As part of my masters we were given the task to go through all the steps in creating a character, this is my design, a mysterious armored figure with an imposing silhouette.

The design was inspired in a good number of soulsborne games, with a stylized look to him. Design wise he is meant to be a reoccurring boss fight, think about it like Riku in the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories games, with each encounter giving way to more mechanics. 

Poses and props he carries, including some blood vials to fuel his brand of blood magic. One sword is ohysical while the other is shaped by his blood magic.

For the initial designs i already had a good idea of what I wanted to accomplish, so I experimented more on the silhouette and how to include an element of his blood magic on his design. I also played with the idea of him being able to summon wings as a "second stage" in a latter encounter.

A slightly less detailed design, still playing around with certain shapes and elemens but still staying close to the core concept of the character.
