I had a third and final character to design, so to start, I decided I would make a list of words that best describe the character. I tried to think of the semiotics that would convey the words that I used to describe the character. I sketched out some ideas for how the character would look and the common expressions he would have. I think the main things that defined the character, is his grin, his colossal height and his overweight body.

These three elements definitely define the character. In the story, he is a monster living in this cave and eating thousands of copies of our main character Chen, as part of a magical time looping enchantment. So him being a large monster was important to the story.I thought more about the design of the character, how I could add more elements to make him look more villainous. So, I thought of things like tattoos and body markings. I thought the sharp raised markings on his body felt very sinister and so I went with that design.
