Process and Production: Further Character Sheets

Process and Production

Further Character Design and Development Sheets

In order to improve on my previous model sheet, I decided to produce an additional one, whilst also focusing on expression and consistency. The sketches were initially done in my sketchbook, before being scanned into Photoshop and used as reference, before I began lining. To improve on my anatomy, I used the website Line-of-Action.com in order to help solidify my poses, whilst also remaining fluent.

I wanted to also explore change in the characters' design based on environment factors, thus I focused on the hair. This was used to look at several hair-styles and also how the hair and clothes would change when damp. I found it was fun to explore this and it made the character feel more believable.

I think this model sheet is more refined than the previous one, however I still need to work on my anatomy and shape of the character. I attempted exaggerating expression with the middle face, however the jaw isn't anatomically correct and needs moving slightly. I will focus on this next time.

I created a further character sheet, with logo and a short tagline for both my protagonist and antagonist. It uses a line-less style, similar to the concept environments I created.
