Just some sketches from over the weekend, I went camping with some friends up at Edison Lake (photos are here if you're interested: http://flickr.com/photos/Konamicode/). I did about a page a day. This was from Saturday. Nothing too spectacular, this is typically how a page in my sketchbook looks - lots of scribbly stuff that doesn't really go anywhere, just me throwing lines down, the rest of the stuff from the weekend will be a bit more refined/edited, and just more...interesting.
More of a Gackt-style GH hero this time. I'll work on some more flamboyish poses, but just wanted to get an idea of how I wanted him to look, how his hair might go, a general shape overall. He could probably look a bit more alien/effiminate though, to be a j-rock Idol/Saver of Worlds.
just a couple more sketches I did this afternoon. Think that I still need to push the variations a bit. The heads feel too similar to me in proportion. Also I need to start finishing off my feet, or it'll look like I'm hiding them.
A couple sketches of a character Matt and I came up with after he got a spam message from possibly the greatest name in the world - Benedict Blackburn.
So the current challenge on Polycount for the next two weeks is to create a "Guitar Hero" style character, 2K polys with textures, wielding a guitar. Since I've been going through a GH withdrawal, I immediately started cranking out a couple sketches for a character. I'm going to do more tomorrow, and try out some different types of characters, but for now I wanted to start off with a hardcore type guy, the ear plugs, annoying goatee, wearing some sort of prison coverall with torn off sleeves, and probably full sleeve tattoos.
