Week 10 - Character Three Reference

For my third character I have been working heavily on trying to build up reference for Drak. This characters body type is  a mesomorph. He is portrayed as a very muscly character, he has incredible definition in his upper chest and has long wavy hair. As a character he is very large in terms of muscle definition so trying to find reference was relatively easy.

I had to search reference for weapons and armour as my character would have both, the general design of the character would encompass all aspects similar to a Viking warrior.

Below you will find lots of different reference that I have put together into one image for convenience, you can see the different types of body build and armour. Sifting through all of these images helped me decide on some designs which i will show later in the week, I started my sketches today so I do have rough idea what kind of character I will be going for.
