Bek & Ellie Character Concepts
Bek, a human engineer, and Ellie, a combat droid, are characters I ideated for a Star Wars themed Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Because these characters are meant to exist within a pre-existing world, I had to keep them true to the aesthetics and design of Star Wars.
I took costuming notes from the franchise to develop the working-class, resourceful, engineer look for Bek, including all sorts of pocket space for tools and scrap metal, and studied Star Wars Empire aesthetics for Ellie, an Imperial droid, and focused on designing her in a way that alluded to her dexterous fighting style.
