Personification of magical/technological force:

What you see above are different ideas for the 4 specific characters I derived from The Sorcerer's Apprentice; an old fairy tale poem by Goethe, which I chose to use for my assignment. Most are probably familiar with Disney's version in the movie Fantasia. It's pretty much the same story.

The ideas I came up with can take place in different eras, worlds, universes. Some are more traditional; robed figure with a pointy hat. Another is more modern day; an idea revolving around science and technology instead of magic. Meanwhile, some other ideas are really out there, and instead of your traditional human, I used creature designs. Some are sort of demonic, while others are just alien and different from us.

I don't think I'll end up taking the odd route, but I definitely wanted to explore it.

Lastly, the character I would like to spotlight for this week is Prince of Persia, The Prince

Sadly, I couldn't find any character sheets, and the official site seems to be down. Very unfortunate. I never played the game either so I don't know too much about him except for some bits of game play style fun. I should buy this...

When I first saw the character in a TV commercial, I fell in love with the design. I especially love red and blue bandanna, and the claw.

Much fun to be had.

Wont hurt to spotlight this either:
