Ghangus Khan Concept




I came up with this idea awhile back for a Ghangus Khan character. But I thought I'd throw a twist in there and make him feminine. And for comedy purpose make him plump! I started out here by trying out different little hats and round little faces.













After some decision making I came up with this design. I did a lot of research on the time frame of his time. A lot of his costume design came from that era of soldiers in his part of the world. And even though I did like the costume design the "gay" look was a little to weird in this one to me. Plus the anatomy in this is reallllllly off. Enough said back to the drawing board.


During my lunch yesterday, I went back and tried for a new look. I love the boots and they are actually from the same time era. Although they are more middle Eastern some Asian countries did pick up on this fashion. I made his feminine qualities more subdued this time around and kept the proportions more readable for his silhouette. I want to add some beads and like a little sword maybe. I'll keep posting up more of him as I progress.

I like the way you have described the process you applied towards your sketches. Keep that up! Remember to construct your characters from simple shapes, and watch that line of action for the Ghangus Khan character. Great concept!
