Melquíades

Appearance

Character design sheet, full body reference, front view, back view, side view, and detail close-ups of hands and face. A heavy-set, stout man with a broad frame. His skin is deeply tanned, weathered, and covered in fine, parchment-like wrinkles. He has a large, dense, untamed black beard and thick eyebrows. His hands are exceptionally thin and bony with gnarled, elongated fingers and prominent knuckles. He wears a heavy, dark purple velvet vest with a subtle worn texture over a tattered, sweat-stained grey linen tunic with frayed hems. A wide-brimmed black felt hat with a weathered edge casts a slight shadow over his face. Multiple thick, oxidized iron rings are worn on his fingers. The character is set against a solid, neutral grey background. High-detail texture on the velvet fabric, iron metal, and weathered skin.
