Eldrin & Mara Redblade

Two original characters, from concept sketches to model sheets.

Eldrin is a 20-year-old apprentice mage; Mara Redblade an 18-year-old pirate captain. Both started as loose silhouette studies and were refined into model sheets with turnarounds, expressions and design notes.

The goal of a model sheet is consistency: any animator should be able to draw the character on model from it.
