Haruma: Insights
A few sketches on my first and possibly favorite character concept I’ve ever done, along with the history of his design process. He has appeared many times in my artwork and there’s a reason for that. It was my take on the edgy “anti hero” type design inspired from characters such as Venom, Deadpool, and Batman. I first envisioned him a few years ago and it has inspired me to become the artist I am today 
One of the earliest concept sketches ever drawn. Envisioned during a very boring high school class period in late 2016.
A more detailed and polished concept of Haruma. Drawn during the same time period not too long after the first sketch (late 2016)
Another more detailed drawing sketched out in late 2017. Capturing the addition of his cape/jacket along with more detailed gauntlests
After getting used to the art of Pen and Ink crosshatching. I revisited Haruma's concept once again after 6 months. Reworking his gauntlets and his chestplate.
A behind shot of Haruma and his energy storage strapped on to his back.
The final concept of the fierce Haruma we know today. Showing his brute mortality and ambition.
