Character Briefing

So for the character design briefing we had to choose two cards from Justin's deck to find out what we had to work with. I got Western and Musketeers.



For the brief itself, we have to come up with a hero, villain and a sidekick, the sidekick can be with the hero or the villain. we also have to design props and environments to help with our story.


We also had to draw in lesson, Justin would give us two examples and we had to combine the two and see what you would come up with, my drawing of these will be up soon.
