Fashion Design

Not something I really considered important in my line of work - until I tried to paint a character who:

a.) Wasn't wearing armour (fantasy)

b.) Wasn't wearing armour (sci-fi)

c.) Wasn't wearing armour (hot dog - see earlier post)

d.) Wasn't completely and deliberately ridiculous.

Developing this character tought me a lot about what I have been subconsciously avoiding, such as clothing folds. Good ol' plate armour. I learned a lot with this one - part of me wants to decribe this character so you can get the gist, the other part of me says I shouldn't have to explain it. Also, it's late and I can't be bothered.



Moving on: The other day I felt like drawing fish, then I felt like drawing guns, then I drew fish-guns. Now I'm sick of fish and guns.



Aaaand top it off with a nice, normal, gamey sketch. A bit of an anticlimax really.

  1. Ah characters. The bane of the universe, really. You're right though - if your boss said "Design me a character named 'Armour-Man-Face', we'd be in heaven.

    If i had to pick one of those 3 girls to be on my side in a fight, it'd be the first one. See: shoes of death.

  2. Great job with the fabric textures. The fish guns had me giggling in my seat. I think I'd go with the octopus-launching.
