RONAN GREENE
2023 EXTENDED PROJECT : WOBBLE HEADS
INITIAL HELMET IDEA
LINEUP OF MY CHARACTER GOING THROUGH THE DIFFERENT ERA'S OF LUCHA LIBRE WRESTLING
1865 - 1984 - 2023
PROMOTIONAL POSTER FOR MY GAME WOBBLE HEADS WRESTLING 2024. WHICH IS ALSO THE GAME COVER.
HERE IS MY FULL ANIMATED SCENE
A LOT OF MY INSPIRATION FOR MY CHARACTER CAME FROM RESEARCHING OTHER PROFESSIONAL LUCHADORS IN THE WRESTLING SCENE SUCH AS KALISTO, GRAN METALIK AND REY MYSTERIO. I ALSO LOOKED INTO LUCHADORS IN VIDEO GAMES LIKE JUAN FROM 'GUACAMELEE!' AND 'KING' FROM TEKKEN. I SAW HOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE GOT THEIR NAMES AND THEIR BACKSTORIES BEHIND THEIR PERSONAS AND IT GAVE ME THE IDEA TO NAME MY CHARACTER 'EL DUENDE' WHICH TRANSLATES TO 'THE GOBLIN'. THIS MADE ME THINK A LOT ABOUT HOW I SHOULD MAKE MY CHARACTER ACT AND MOVE, SO THEY NEED TO BE QUITE TRICKY AND MISCHEVIOUS JUST LIKE A GOBLIN.
FOR THE IDEA BEHIND MY ARENA I LOOKED A LOT INTO REAL LIFE VENUES FROM PLACES LIKE PUERTO VALLARTA IN MEXICO WHERE THEY HOST LUCHA LIBRE COMPETITIONS AND SUCH. THIS ALSO MIXED WITH OTHER DESIGNERS IN THE INDUSTRY WHO HAVE CREATED SIMILAR PROJECTS INFLUENCED MY DESIGNS MASSIVELY.
