Character Design - P.T. Stepford

Part of the Stepford Inc. project.

The ruthless CEO of the exploratory robotics company Stepford Inc. PT Stepford doesn’t see a lot of field action, but when they do, they make sure to suit up.

Like all designs in this series, I incorporated hearts into the shape language.

PROCESS

Initial silhouettes. I wanted to lean into a harsher, triangular shape-language for this one, while still incorporating the heart motif associated with this faction's aesthetic.
I couldn't decide between a masculine or feminine design, so I took my two favorite silhouettes, and overlaid texture photos I had taken to breakdown the interior shapes in the design.
I ended up liking the masculine design more, so I drew over some of the photos I had overlaid to create various versions of the design.
Some more detailed drawovers and value breakdowns of the character.
