Main Character and Crew

Main Character

 

During the development stages of the character i played around with different items to see what worked best. Were considering just having a hat, and ring but you could see something was missing, he needed to be detailed he's the main character after all.

Here is the finished main character; he’s a small whippy little bird with a taste for the salty air and love of all things gold.  I aimed to bring through the strong pirate themes without making him too Captain Jack Sparrow. A lot of research was put into this character, for example to make the style of hat ensuring it was of the correct style and shape which is iconic with pirates, along with the bandanna. I’ve included small detailing such as the scar, beard and ring to aid in giving him some added character, though due to his small size I couldn’t go into great detail without the imagery becoming cluttered when down scaled.

  

 

Crew

 

These are the crew members there is a possibility for more. So far the blue bird is the only one named and he’s called C. Legs. It was essential during development not to let them stray into the realms of the Angry Birds Franchise steering away from heavy black detailing lines and too rounder bodies. We steered away from Pixel art in the development stages as more detailing gave the game more depth and intrigue.
