My character may be very reptilian in design but i want him to show some more human features, making him look far friendlier and less of a threat. The eyes offer a great opportunity for this as they usually tell a lot about a person. I could utilise a generic red, orange or yellow colour scheme but this would look quite animalistic whilst on the other hand, with blue being one of the calmest colours possible allows me to add a bit of humanity and emotion in to my character without focusing on the facial/ bodily expressions.
Body
Body wise, i want my character to have a traditional red, orange and brown colour pallet seem with most reptiles. This also allows me to blend my character in with the murky, brownish environment whilst also being able to use a redish contract to make him stand out when required, for example; if he is being hit by a light ray, his reflective scales with make him practically glow.
Highlights
I wont be able to get the full contract of lgiht and dark throughout my character without adding some extra highlights to the images. For areas where the sun hits him, i will add quite a destinctive white highlight and blend it in to the scales. On the otherhand, for areas that are not in direct sunlight and will be shadowed, i will add a mixture between black and greys to attempt to give him a three dimensional look.
