This Dispatch marks the start of Lyall’s visual evolution. It's been 2 years since the start of his head was published on Sketchfab by KilynnTor, I'd like to use this Dispatch to talk briefly about how I'd like this character to progress.
Lyall Hopkins is the main character of my future show Banjolia and future game Banjolia - Echoes Of Strings, hes a hybrid creature a mixture of Hippopotamus and Rabbit features. I'm looking for his body design to resemble something along the lines of Klonoa, shorts, shoes, maybe a hat, and maybe a summer wastecoat with colors along the lines of greens, with perhaps gold trim.
He's a Bard so this will enter into the design of his clothing including belts and back storage for his musical instrument weapon.
Hopefully the next dispatch about him will show more progress on his head and perhaps body, you'll be able to find his profile at lyallhopkins.com as soon as I've had more time to work on the html template for characters. In the meantime you can view the 3D collection for Lyall Hopkins on Sketchfab at the link below.
