With the latest Battlefield game releasing last year I was inspired to visualize my own take of different soldiers during WW2 from each faction. My goal was to stay as authentic as possible with my designs, but still be creative with what I had to work with. I had a blast working on these three and was a good opportunity to teach myself more about WW2 as a whole!
I did a lot of research and reference digging before I started sketching, to make sure I didn't fall in the all to famous "generic design" trap. I wanted to make sure that each character could be easily recognizable as their own respective country, yet feel cohesive standing beside each other. Further down you can find 5 thumbnails for each country, as well as a process GIF!
