Missinii The Wise

Here is Mussinii, a character I completed for the Advanced Concepts module, something which helped me a great deal with this was reference photography. I initially did some iterations based off my Granddads face to achieve the character I desired and continued to develop the design of his costume and staff to suit his characteristics best.

I designed and modeled a general pose using the staff model I had made but it seemed robotic, So I used my reference imagery of my Granddad to pose and develop the pose further, this seems a lot more fluid and human. I wanted the environment to be n a cave off the coast of the wizards tower so he could still access it by his boat, for the story element of the cave, Mussinii is lighting magical oblisks to berid of any monsters that might start to dwell in the caves surrounding his tower. for reference I used photography from my viset to the caves of Drach in Majorca.
