It appears to be a character sheet for the film Tron Legacy.
This picture was very useful as it had a similar hood and similar movements to my character design.
As one of my drawing weaknesses is proportion of people’s limbs when in a dynamic pose, the character sheet was used as reference for the length and position of the limbs and as a reference for how the hood would sit and how much face would be visible.
Here is a progression sheet showing the progression from the Tron character sheet.
A rough black outline was drawn, then colour was added as abstract as possible to emphasis the movement, not the clothes. Then the most relevant movement poses were chosen and more detail was added.
The same pose was used as in the Tron sheet to show different actions in the designed character sheet, for example, taking off and landing from the jetpack and shooting a weapon. The image was interpreted to suit the character.
A handgun and stick was also added to the images.
In the context of the game, the stick is actually a liberated aerial that the character can use as a weapon. This gives an original spin on a character that has a jetpack; it also makes movement, silhouettes and poses more interesting.
In the industry, the character movement positions would be drawn from memory through practice, little or no reference would be needed for that.
