Graphic Design Week 12/1

This is an image of a character I have created to be in a story created by someone I know. I am in the process of building a back story for the character, and I already have a list of characteristics. This is only the front view, but I will continue working on the other views in the future. I also experimented using cross hatching for shading. I will be experimenting with other techniques until I find one or combination of techniques in order to build on my own unique art style.

Here is another picture of the same character. Here I also used cross hatching on a different scale, just to see how it looks when applied to a full body image. I choose his pose to show how his personality stands from other characters in the story he was created for. He is very serious and he is looking outward reflecting on decisions he will have to make in the future. No he is not wearing a cape, it a cloak in order for him to protect himself from sandstorms and other harsh environments. I also have him wearing something of a native american covering around his lower half  to emphasize his nationality.
