lady in greeen :@

A lady from a summer futurepoly class I am taking, I would like to mess with this a bit more, and maybe paint it up a bit, but thought I'd post it here for progress' sake. Linework is my favs.

I think I like drawing  outfits the most. :D

some peoples

I'm trying to embrace my tendency to draw stylized versions of people, as much as I like crazy realistic stuff, I should probably stop forcing myself to render everything to death, since I don't enjoy it. :D

I posted these on my tumblr (I usually post my dumb sketches and stuff there) but decided I liked them enough to put them here. :D

also things

The final for my character design class, we were given a brief that describes three different alien races and some limitations as the plan was to model these in 3d later, such as no secondary action (hair, swinging things, etc).

I chose the 'altare' race, I envisioned them as a monastic sort of society, high up in some mountain or cloud somewhere, and they were kind of full of themselves as they had found the secrets to eternal peace and happiness. There was mention in the brief of crystals on their bodies they didn't like to discuss, I was thinking they would have some sort of religious significance.

I was all over the place here, bat people, quarian looking stuff, lizards. I latched onto the idea of a head scarf, I imagined covered more 'secret' crystal stuff on their head, also it helped the character look more feminine, since she couldn't have hair.

Color comps, I pulled inspiration from actual monk clothing. :D
The character had to be an adolescent, hence the cuter proportions.

The final sheet, I imagine they are perhaps a race of golem like people, stony skin or something...but not actually golems. Something that's been around a while, seen a lot of things and stuff.

some things

the fixed version of the random character, added some darker shadows and a bit of secondary light

also a thing I 'finished' a while ago but will probably revisit, but I don't think I'd posted this here:

Hopefully I'll have more stuff to post as the semester draws to a close, haven't really 'loved' a

everything I've done this year. D:

a new thing

for the character driven blog

I haven't submitted it there, still need to make a few changes. :D

I got wide, gentle, femme fatale elf...I went with wide hips....maximum sexiness.

Indeed

Another character design assignment, this one we were to take inspiration from life drawings of costumed models.

This is Leslie, he is an assassin but blood makes him squeamish and he kind of sucks at the whole thing. He kills for rich ladies who have tired of their husbands...scandalous.

process stuff :D!!

here's  my gestures, 1-2 minutes each

I liked the ones on the bottom, the guy in the suit, he had a very slight build and made me think of an assassin or killer type character that was actually quite weak, and kind of fell into the killing people for money thing. 

some inital sketches on that idea, the lady is just chillin, you know, whatevs, she was my first idea, still might draw it, a kind of feral victorian lady.
Anyway, I wanted him to also look girlishly pretty, but since I usually draw the ladies, he ended up looking very much like a cross dressing lady in may of these.

rough emote/pose sheet, that last pose I liked the idea of, a startled kind of run whatever but the end it was not working at all.

a rough turn around.

color comps, you can really see how ladylike I mad him in a couple of these :| men y u no easy to draw.
