Assignment 3: getting my character concept

For assignment 3 we have gotten the task of making a character from concepts recieved from our classmates, I got Gor’dak the fish loving troll:

Troll – Male
Lifespan 160, adult at 30
Name: Gor´dak
Age: 40
Physical: Fat, healthy
Movement: on Two legs, kind of sluggish movement
Appearance: Rough, ragged
Intelligence: Medium, he is not clever but he can talk well and understand what is happening around him. He has too big and clumsy hands to build anything but he’s good at finding a usage for the things he own.
Religion: Fishyism, believes in the fish god Fishy. He “prays” or more hopes his hunting of fish is fishful.
History: Lived alone since he was able to walk on his own two legs. Parents got killed so has no one he knows who is a troll.
Psychology: Easily scared, if he gets too scared he goes into a rage and kill what scared him. Otherwise calm. He don’t create detailed things, only strap on things he find to detail himself or his cave which he loves. He wants to detail his home with trophies or things he finds because he really likes how it looks and he thinks it make his home a better and happier place.

If anything would threaten his house or steal from it he would rage and get rid of it.

Likes: Fish, trophies, other trolls even though he never met anyone but his parents before, shiny things.

Hunts fish and other animals with his club if he wants to eat them.

His hobbies is to hunt, explore and find trophies. The trophies are usually from his hunting and exploring expeditions.

Lives in a cave in a forest with a small lake nearby. He has a fireplace surrounded by rocks in his cave and know how to cook somewhat, mostly grilling fish and making fish soup. He sits on logs from trees he has torn down. His cave contain trophies and other items he have found and are hanged on the walls to make it look nicer. If he can he attach it to himself too, like ear rings or a wristband if he find something that he could use.

He likes to explore but the only place he really loves is his cave and lake.
He might look like a brute but he loves his things and his cave and is really happy when he is there and look at his things and the memories they awaken.

He has started a club where only he is in. It’s called Fish club and he started it because he loves fish. It’s both about hunting fish and looking at how pretty and shiny they are. The first rule about Fish club is that you don’t talk about the fish club.

He could see him in an open world, sandbox PC game maybe like Skyrim, but in a more cartoony style, where everything have a background and if you just sit and watch you can see them doing their everyday life and notice details about their behaviors that you wouldn’t see if you just ran past or attacked them as fast as you saw them. He could be a special NPC that also has a side quest if you don’t go and just kill him. And if you just sit and watch him he would go hunting or exploring. So if you got there when he was out exploring the forest you will only find his empty glade. Or you might find him watching fish in the lake or swimming.

So to wrap the character up: a peaceful troll that likes fish and living in solidarity, happy if he just has his fish and cave.

The challenge making this character will be his round shape and textures, because of his very flat colours on the concept.. I have not made characters in 3D before and will be interesting to see how it goes. I was told by the one who gave me this concept to follow the artistic style that was on the concept. having the simple colours and all. It is going to be interesting what this will turn out to be! That’s all for this time. Cheers!
