I am a huge Fantasy buff so this was quite enlightening. I created a moodboard that served as my inspiration for my 'fantasy' themed character sketches. Froud uses a lot of 'wooden' structure in his designs, with strong sharp lines and almost imaginative anatomy.
From these I created some silhouettes that focused primarily on shape/pose and some minor detail. I sort of went with a 'wood' elf/treant look intermixed with female-ish anatomy. I tried to have quite different variations since that would allow me to explore different elements, I also put my own twist on it and exaggerated certain aspects of Froud's design language (that I happened to like).
BONUS:
I really liked the weapons I drew in class so I refined them a little.
I also tried to sort of do a '3D mimic' of one of the design's that I really liked but it didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to. Perhaps something I will return to in the coming week.
