DD1101 - Scar Night character design

For the task of designing a character from Alan Campbell's 'Scar Night', I was given the assassin Rachel Hael.



I began with some rough sketches and silhouettes to get the feel of various aspects of her appearence. She is described as being gaunt, and other Spine assassins earlier in the book are similarly compared to cadavers. It made sense to me to play on this, to make this character wholly unattractive and tired. It wouldn't have made sense to give a character like this any kind of sex appeal due to that, and from how standoffish and aggressive she can be(from how much I read of the book, anyway).



Here's the finished lineart derived from the concept sketches.

It was nice to step away and draw a different body type for once, but this really isn't my genre and my armour designing could use some work.
