Iroquois Indian Warrior

2009-05-05T00:11:00.000-07:00

Character Design for vis dev. The character was based loosely on a poem by William Blake, described as a trapped wolf. Our job was to take the poem and interpret it how we will, and with no time period constraints. I chose to base my design off of a warrior from the Iroquois tribe who is in the act of framing the Lenape tribe by placing war clubs by the slain Cherokee, who later waged war on the Lenape (true story).
