This is the finalized version of the Magician card, presented in the style of a typical tarot card.
Here is the showcase for incorporating the environment and special effects used to bring the character to life.
This is the official character artwork for the Magician.
Here are some silhouettes of the Magician in both a fantasy setting and a sci fi setting that were done as early concepts. The orthographic design for the Magician, which shows the front, side and back of the character and the 3D modelling version are also shown here. The 3D modelling version show on the right was made to help with making aspects of the character that are otherwise covered up, like the legs and head.
I - The Magician
This was the first of 5 characters I had to design based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot Deck. This was done for my Honours project at University.
I wanted to do something more along the lines of a battlemage, so I went for the hooded robes to keep the look and feel of a typical mage, but having the chestplate armour and armoured gauntlets added in for the battlemage aspect of the character.
