Freelancer concept Design.

Ok this one took a shorter period of time, because I didnt mess up, take a day away from it. I did mess up but I quickly recovered my stamina and began work on the very next page. I put together this type of page like the last one to show the process behind he design.

What started from a simple thumbnail design, I scanned and blew up a version and printed it to make sure I would have room for the sword and body. The first attempt (bottom right) I went ahead and began designing the armor on top of the body. A habit I REALLY need to break.

So quickly I designed some armor and clothing concepts, from there I began forming the Freelancer. As you can see, I kept struggling with what kind of hair to give him, and in the end I put the banana on him and yet it works.
Used or stolen armor from dead soldiers, raggy clothing, he looks more of a merchant then anything else. Everything about him is almost 2nd or 3rd handed. The sword and chest armor do have a story but that is for later!
With every moody hero its nice to have a adorable little pet or sidekick. His just happens to sleep in his shirt.

There is 2 more designs left for character concepts, a brute tank, and a sexy elf.

Female Anthro Gypsie Concept.

I feel this may be a good way of explaining things I do when I am doing artwork.

I was going for a type of thief feline.

The first was being drawn on 14X18 paper, and instead of doing a rough draft first on separate paper then tracing onto my main paper, I started with the head and began working my way down, before even finished I got bored and began penciling and adding armor.

The mistakes are her expression, her body language, and her armor, to much thick leather armor on a fur body=head and movement restriction. As I explain in the picture, she seems scared.

A day later (today) I do random rough thumbnails on a scrap, I wanted a simple pose in a way, after finishing I decided to scan and do the clothing concepts in OC digitally, saving myself time and trouble trying to distinguish markings with pencils.



The result is what you see, I feel more comfortable with her body, her expression, and her garments. She now feels like what I envisioned for her. Instead of leathers I gave her silks and thin garments, thanks to speaking with other friends and helping me make that decision. Her appearance is that of a Gypsy or belly dancer, and her instincts are always aware of surroundings. So her thief instinct works as well for this type of costume/character, her weapons to be knifes is replaced by her claws and agile body, her tail jewel can even be used as a bludgeoning device.

I hope my explanation to this was good, or if people read it or not. I just wanted to give a small insight to my process sometimes when my brain comes to a halt. I may put up soon my process on how I get such clean penciling via tracing my own artwork.

Thanks again.

I am getting in a bad habit of staying up all night long to work on artwork, its good in a way, and very bad for my sleep. I am really happy to be getting the chance to work on things a bit different.
As for that PC, if it makes a good bench to sit on, then it must be very wide. If there are plugs going in the side, imagine if that beast has multiple motherboards.

He seems to be making a larger scale model of his little helper bots :).
This is all done in pencil, and can be found inside my 11X14 sketchbook, the original idea was to black the entire background in, but with pencil? NO! It kinda seems ok the way it is however.
