Character Design: Eino

Eino is a character concept that I feel in love with, inspired by my favorite manga's; Berserk and Vinland Saga. I wanted to create a character with a deep backstory and narrative that could be used for both a graphic novel and a videogame concept. The concept its itself is called KING, about Eino, a mysterious figure living life alone and on a journey of redemption to visit his wife and child's grave. KING is a 3D action adventure videogame concept, similar to God of War and The Legends of Zelda, with a very linear story exploring emotional and moral actions, along side an XP system with a skill tree as a way of progression throughout the game.

I heavy based Einos appearance of the Vikings of Vinland Saga, while having that strong, bold build of Kratos from God of War series, including some magical Norse powers. I also used real life references of Vikings from the late 8th century, finding unique ways to build an interesting character that stands outs.
