Character Creation
Sketches, ideas, first sketches
Character idea
Initially, only one thing was clear - this character would have mechanical arms...
identity creation
The doctor's robe appeared as soon as it became clear that she was a scientist who had been in many battles for her life. I wanted to create her something like a scorpion, with thin red pigtails and black eyes without pupils.
Then I thought - why did she create mechanical arms for herself if she could create a lot of effective weapons to fight enemies?
The answer came to me by itself-because she had lost her own hands. She tried to sew one of her hands, but there were a lot of scars on it, and instead of the other she attached to herself the hand of the lizard that she defeated.
Fairly accurate sketch
At this stage I abandoned the Scorpio style. This seemed too obvious an idea to me.
There's a bit of military style added here.
I thought it would be a good idea to hide her hands under the robe. But how would they get from there? I came up with a robe made from two parts. The upper part of the robe is separated from the lower part, so it can be easily removed and the scientist pulls out her mechanical arms.
completing character creation
Next, I removed the resemblance to Jinx (most likely it appeared due to associations with weapons)
And long hours of rendering.
At first I wanted to think through the detailed mechanics of the hands and make them the same, but thinking about the history of this scientist, I realized that creating perfectly even and identical hands in battles with mountain monsters was simply an impossible task for her.
