Character Design project - Mediterranean Villagers

Big character design-project for the time being. Theme being "Mediterranean Villagers".

First week was concept design with Uwe Heidschoetter. Our character had to fit into Jim Henson's muppet-style and stylewise fit with a given character our teacher had made (The Russian Lady) - which can be seen beside the character I designed in the first presentation-sheet.

First pictures: Reference and the concept of my character, The Olive Farmer.
Fourth picture: Finished concept of character + Environment in color.

Last picture: Work in progress picture of my 3d-environment in Maya. At the moment we're having three weeks of modelling & UV mapping with Eric Prince. Modelling of my character starts next week.
