Muay Thai

This is the Muay Thai character, however due to running out of time there is a big lack of development here. I would love to spend more time on this design and try other costumes as well. However, I picked this costume as she is wearing cloth pants that are used for dancing, which should allow for freedom of movement. The top is wrapped around and ends with a shawl-type thing over one shoulder. This costume was constructed to reflect her heritage and Thai culture. 

Judo character refinement

This is the final pose I will take further:

 Below is the front and back concept for this character.

Below is a refined portrait of the character. I am really happy with this. I wanted the mask to resemble the Nio statues, and it does, I also wanted it to look a bit like stone so I took inspiration, in terms of colour, from the statues too. 

Final character concept altogether:

Generally I am happy with this character. If I had more time I would experiment with different colours for the clothing and belt. I would also experiment with different size beads and different shades for the mask, trying out darker colours and so on. But overall, rather happy with this one, as I achieved what I wanted to with him. However, he does come off as quite evil, looking a lot like Akuma and similar characters, especially with the mask. I feel that if I used the other mask idea, with the closed mouth, he would look less evil. But, again, I achieved what I wanted.
