Captain Hook: Ideas and Sketches

A new year, a new module, a new brief.

For the introduction to the Character and Environment Design module, we've been given a straight forward character design brief.  Re-design Captain Hook in futuristic style.  Simple.

The brief is deliberately vague in order for us to put our own creative spin on the character.  I've decided to go down a 'colourful' route.  Inspired by Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" film, my intention is to create a design that could fit into that Universe.  I love the way that Guardians incorporated a good sense of colour in its art style (not dark, moody futuristic like "Blade Runner" nor super sleak, clean white metals from say "Elysium").

Captain Hook still needs to be a villain.  So I'm going to try to crank up the 'bad-assery' of this character and make him more threatening.

Let's see how it goes.

Here's some early design sketches:
