Shayda

I wanted to challenge myself to an animated character making speedrun, so I created this fighter inspired by the stylization of Sergi Caballer. As much as I would have liked to fret over every detail for many more hours, it was important to practice a rigged character workflow on a tight deadline to really dig into any hitches I came across in the process - so I can smooth them out in my future projects. I will continue these exercises with the goal of being able to spend more time on the juicy details as my speed and knowledge improves.

I sketched a rough turnaround to get a picture of Shayda's hair, clothing, and facial features.  I wanted to depict a adventure/fantasy character with influences from the Middle East/ North African region of the world.
