Evil Villain Character Concept Arts + Worldbuilding

Early sketches of the character, where I simply toyed with the silhouette and body type.

Sketches I did once I had the general outline of the character defined, meant to test out the colors. Due to the character being a villain, I quickly gravitated towards warm colors like red.

Due to the character's poisonous/acidic-looking weaponry, I sketched some designs for the character's gun. On the right are some sketches of his hands and face, and how the latter interacts with his mask.

A finalized rendition of the character as a whole, ultimately making him look like some doomsday cultist enemy.

Some concept art for the character's minions, which adopt a similar build & clothes but with noticeably less striking shapes to convey a sense of hierarchy.

Some quick sketches of the world in which these characters live. The intent was a rather apocalyptic city landscape.

A diorama drawing of a portion of the world's city, with a rebel-like hideout in the bottom, and the evil character with his minions looking out the windows.
