Developing a Character

As a group of three we were set the task of developing a character from a location, genre and a hobbie. The three topics we were given were Antarctica, Fantasy and wrestling. Here is our first general plan when approaching the task:

We decided on the Name of the as the Winter Exile to help create the setting of the character, for example with winter you immediately think of the harsh cold and when the work exile is used it is often enforced with something negative to represent the character of having a harsh lifestyle.

Here are some of the concept art I came up with for the character, environment and background of the whole development:

As you can see I have used  three segments, one for the character, another for the environment and the last for his home. For the character I mostly looked at the group concepts and work from there. For the environment I looked at photos of the North Pole and then emphasized a more harsh landscape to create a darker tone to the character and for his home I created a dark cave that I tried to make look very sinister. This was to resemble how the Winter Exile is seen by the world.
