I decided to focus on 19th century Japan due to the potential of the aesthetic crossing over easily and the hand to hand combat was a necessary game mechanic. I began by gathering as much reference as possible due to the character needing to look authentic.
I created these quickly using a chalk brush in photoshop by duplicating each one and painting over it. This was a really quick process and Jack from Ubisoft liked these.
I developed the rough thumbnails by adding detail trying to focus on what outfit made sense. It had to be movable so the character could climb buildings but still contain the iconic armour.
The placement of colour is important for assassins creed such as the white cloak and hood. I created these to see which worked the best.
We had to create an A frame for this Brief which I found challenging but I am not unhappy with the results.
This is the final piece for the project. I had to rush this a little to show jack in a presentation but i believe they convey the samurai assassin quite well. If i had more time for this project I would put the character in a more dramatic pose.
