Selected Characters

Its been awhile again since I last posted work on here, this is due to having a hectic couple of weeks as Ive now moved out from home into a new place so sitting and doing large amounts of work has been difficult though I hope to rectify this now by spending the next couple of days solidly on my work!

So above is the selection of 17 of my favorite characters, Im now going to redraw these in new PSDs and draw side profiles and perspective shots of each to try and learn the designs for these characters

finalizing sketches

 In todays lesson Ive done what ive been looking forward to doing for a while, narrowing down the huge pile of character sketches too 10 - 15 solid ones, I also went through a process that I find really helps where I piece together my favorite elements of certain faces to create new ones, I did this process on my Honours project to create the characters I used and below are two examples of new faces created and which piece as come from where.

MA poster


We have been asked to make a poster of our MA work so far to be presented to the other MAs so they can get an idea of where we are, here is mine which I had printed in A3, Im not sure if feedback will be given for these however I think it was just for the benefit of the other students :)

No more please..



I no I said i wasnt going to do any more characters but shortly after the last ones I didn't some more sketches and a couple of these I felt needed to going over linework process as elements of them could help to create the new final characters 

...this IS the last of my characters though finally!

New Characters Continued


This is my best character sheet to date I feel, there is alot of strong characters in this and clearly its down to practice which makes me wonder if I continued to do characters, will they continue to get better or will the ideas run dry, also... Im getting bored of this so now its finally time to move on and chose some of these for full character concepts :)

New Characters

Ive decided to go back to what I did on my honours project in university and only draw my characters from solid face one, that way I can mix and match aspects of characters I like to create new ones with my favorite elements of them, I'm coming up to 80 concepts now so by now I should have atleast 10 characters Im happy with!



After this sheet Im going to produce another one as I have been sketching alot in my spare time creating my ideas for characters :)
