Use of Basic Shapes

 

Jonathan 3D Block Out

I wanted to capture both Jonathan’s approachable nature and the seriousness of his work by combining square and spherical shapes. Since Arcane’s art style emphasizes sharp lines and defined edges, I tried to reflect that in my proxy blockout. I also created a few props that Jonathan might carry; a lantern, cigarettes, and a notebook. Later, I plan to refine the look further with sharper wrinkles and planar edges to better match Arcane’s distinct style.

I first modeled his body shape, but it felt too soft and lacked the rectangular, sharper lines I wanted for his figure. So to better capture the look and feeling I envisioned for Jonathan, I added the outfit to emphasize those qualities.
