Aefir Wysarieth - Eladrin Bladesinger (D&D OC)

This is my OC Aefir, he is a bladesinger eladrin, and the brother of my D&D character Cellica. I created him from an old sketch I did that I really liked. I'm still working on improving my character development process but here are some iterations and exploration I did until I was happy with the design.

Character portrait

Full body + weapon final design sketch

First adaptations from an old character sketch. I changed the staff to a double bladed scimitar because it suited the battle mage character better

Colour palette exploration

Outfit and hair exploration. I had a very clear idea about the wide leg trousers from the beginning. I tried a shorter version but ended up sticking to the long ones.

I wanted to stay true to the hairstyle in the original sketch because I really liked the braid detail so I didn't deviate much from that in the next iterations.

Refining the outfit and ended up changing the skin colour because it made more sense for the character's story.

And the last touches to complete the final design.
