3D Foundations: Character Design Concepts (5)


I’ve Decided to name my character Leonardo, Leo for short. A classmate helped me with that name after I asked for ideas for a ‘mischievous’ name. I briefly mentioned Leo, not so keen on it at the time, when they said “Leonardo! Like the artist!” I thought it would be a great twist. Especially since it is a art related story but also because of little Leo’s lack in arty skills.




My final designs relied heavily on my peers feedback.


I’ve Narrowed it down to these final designs. I didn’t like the straight black in the clothes, but anything too light made Leo look like a ‘joker wannabe’ or look like he owns a chocolate factory.


Some feedback I received was that a dark purple or navy would look nice, add colour, but also look smart.
In feedback, I was also given ideas where I could pattern the inside of the coat, so it doesn’t clash with other colour in his suit, but it brings attention to him too.


Somebody mentioned that I could also experiment with eye colour. I stuck with green because I think it is a very catlike colour that is edgy and goes with most breeds. It gives him a smarter, tidy look, and added a final refreshing burst of colour.


I was planning on having him grey and off-white. As greys would fit his ‘orphan’ look. It also looks more refined as well. Last minute I changed to the ginger because I received a lot of feedback saying he looked better and more cheeky and youthful. I was worried it would be too much colour, as that was the reason for nearly choosing a grey cat.
The green also suits the ginger and I know see how it brings out his feline side.
So below as the final colours for the Outfit.
