Sketch Journal 07:

ideas of viewing tower for my toy character.

(click on image to enlarge)

My chosen character is Hijikata Toshiro from the anime, Gintama.

Based on his characteristics, I came out with an idea for his viewing tower::

These 3 ideas are the very first idea I came up with.

It was inspired by elements I found on the site.

Unfortunately, it was unrelated to my toy or my site.

Then, I tried designing his viewing tower based on his characteristics.

Again, it was rejected because all of my designs were too literal.

After that, I tried doing something different but it turns out to be still too literal and also unrelated to my toy.

Last, idea. I suddenly thought of doing something 'sharp' as it represents my character's cold exterior which made others to not dare to approach him. I tried sketching things that is related to 'sharp' and i chose SWORD.
