Alecksi the Dracul

Alecksi, affectionately known on the team as "Draddy". You can see his character evolve throughout the design process, with the initial sketches drawing on more classic tropes of the vampire lord. The narrative prompt for him contained a lot of disjointed themes - Warrior king, sweet-talking swindler, overbearing father figure. It took a lot of tries to hit the perfect balance. I also managed to work some Eastern European historical fashion into his design, while giving it a stylish modern twist.

This was also during my transition to Character Concept Supervisor, and by the time I finalized the design I was in charge of many important design decisions on the team.
