Since the rules specified that it had to be a single pose on a flat background, I didn't bother with making a turnaround, though that would be helpful if I ever want to animate them.
My process was pretty straightforward, I wanted to create a character based off the pun 'flameingo':
Looking at different ways of blending bird and fire, while also looking for an art style that suited it |
After narrowing down and combining the elements I liked, I started exploring outfit and colour scheme:
The clothing was used to show some more flair and character backstory |
I feel the pose is a bit too static to express the flair this character has, and the outfit is a bit too simple for an illustration (perfect for animating though). I could've also played with light and shadow more because of the fire but the time limit for this project wouldn't allow it. Overall, I'm satisfied with the character but if I were animate them, I would probably develop the character more to refine them.
