Knowledge Hunter

The last character of the Blue Team, and of the project. For this figure, I wanted to take a somewhat different approach to that of his group-mates. Rather than an already wise old master such as in the previous two examples, I decided to portray him as person, still on the path of learning, struggling and searching to gain knowledge and achieve wisdom. An old-master-in-training if you will.

As such, I was faced with the challenge of creating a design which still suggested the character's alignment to the team and its fundamental attribute, while at the same time being indicative of a much younger, more active figure - one who is constantly on the road and not always under the best conditions, as it's reasonable that he would constantly need to pursue knowledge in foreign and often hostile places.

To this effect, I decided to revisit the solution I had previously employed in the case of the first member of the Yellow Team, designing a set of clothing and equipment to suggest all this, and making use of emphasis to prevent the visual-message from being drowned-out.
