UI Reformat

What are your thoughts on moving towards a sparse, but more traditional UI layout?  

• A button bar at the bottom
• XP centered above it.  
• Health in the top corner. 
• Mana replaced by a cooldown system. 
•  Current mission info in the upper right corner.

Spell Progression Idea

This is an alternative method of character progression we can pursue: procedural spells.  Start with how the spell is cast, then add the base element.  For additional punch, you can add another effect at additional cost.

Quick Creature_Low-Res

Finished texturing the quick creature. Will still probably need some work done to match the other textured characters in the game.

Main Character_Top Down

I tried to get a good angle with approximate scale to what the character would look like in game to get an idea if you could see tell he has a mohawk. Computer's connection to the internet is too slow right now to upload a full turnaround, but these images should give a good idea of what he will look like.

MainCharacter_Turnaround.mov

I decided to texture the character to see what he would look like with his new hair. I might change the shape of his head because it looks a little wide when viewing from the front. The hair might be changed a little bit because it seems too cluttered along the sides and back, but I think the spikes part is good.

Final Character - New Hair

Ice-Mohawk

Since the majority was 1 and 2, I combined them both like Nathan's suggestion. It is now an ice-mohawk. I'm thinking this might be the final look, what does everyone think?

Hairstyles

I worked on a few hairstyles for the main character. I wasn't sure if we should go for ice or actual hair and I was trying to keep it fairly simple since it's going to have to match with the hi-res as well. Anyway, these are just a few that I threw together real quickly to get a general direction. Any thoughts on what is working, and what isn't working so I can get a more complete idea?
