Mercenaries Concept Development: Dave

For Dave ,I decided that he should be a character who specializes in melee combat. He's swift,agile but he has a cocky personality. Like John is based on Orion, Dave is inspired by Cygnus.

However this may undergo a few changes as I see it as a bit too colourful.

Improved Dave Sketch

Dave's body suit sketch

When I sketched the model out I looked at a few references for the pose I wanted.

Here is Dave with his armour off. I designed the suit that he is wearing to be inspired by existing science fiction jump suits but to  connect with the idea of constellations. I arranged the sockets on his suit in the shape of the constellation, Cignis, which he represents.
