Now that I have got an idea for my final cloak design and I also know what colour and texture I want to use, I was able to create the character sheets for my final 'Death' design. I am really pleased with the final outcome of my character and actually making myself go through the stages of designing a character properly has made me realise how useful it is go through this process, as it allows room for experimentation and refinement. Although it was quite a small part of the overall project, I feel that I have learnt quite a bit about idea development and refinement through this process and it is something that I will definitely use throughout the rest of this project and in future projects.
Whilst I was putting all of my final ideas together to create my final character design, I realised that I hadn't actually completed the design for the characters head (oops!), which obviously made it difficult to actually complete the design. So I went back and coloured the head of the character in and added the details that are described in the book, which aren't a lot. In the book however, the character has one main characteristic that I had to get right, which was his shining blue eyes. So I focused upon getting these right before I moved on to completing the design.

I feel that this is a really successful design for the character Death that will be the main focus within my titles sequence. I feel that it reflects the book really well and I feel that I will be able to work well with the design when I come to animate it. However, because of the cloak I will need to collect some references videos to work from and possibly some videos that I can rotoscope from if I decide that this is the route I want to take.
