This project was an exercise in concept art. I wanted to make a character design from the ground up. The focus was to create a very detailed final product that could then be 3d modeled for a video game or film. On top of creating a futuristic set of armor, I wanted to create a memorable and unique weapon for this character. I eventually came up with this sword that transforms into a bow (see second image). The initial inspiration for the armor and weapon came from ancient Greek warriors. The sword is made to closely resemble a Greek short sword. Another primary weapon of Greek warriors was the bow which is where the inspiration for the dual weapon came from.
