Character Design

 First I created the outline using the shapes tool and the pen tool.

 Then I filled in some basic colours.

 Then I added in more shapes and colours using the gradient tool and colour swatches.

 I used the same tools on other areas of the design and used pencil tool to draw the group of lines to represent a 'regenerating arm'. I also used the distort and transform function to edit some parts of the design such as the torso and legs.

The finishing touches were the 3d effects and the background.









Final Product
