King Warrior - Afrah Character Design
https://lucasgreen.ca/portfolio/king-warrior-character-design/
King Warrior was a passion project six years in the making, my first published graphic novel and a joy of a collaboration with authors Jay Bulckaert and Erika Nyyssonen. Here is some of the development process that went in to designing the main character, Afrah.

For the main character Afrah, the inspiration that kept ringing in my head were Aang from The Last Airbender, and Oh Hyuk (lead singer from my favourite band, Hyukoh). Bit random?
Afrah’s costume pulls inspiration from all over the world...
...from Viking furs and Korean Joseon-era armour, to traditional Somali warriors and contemporary Northern fashion.
