Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #3 - Germs (WIP)

 
 

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #2 - Vigilants
Date: September 22 & 23, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Original is 8.5" x 11"

Notes: This is very much a work in progress. Just trying to get a sketch down for class. I have much work to do, much more realization to do as well (especially with those cats). I'm not sure if I want to keep her hands static or have her more so interacting with her cats or laptop. Just quickly trying to throw down some lines and tone.

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #2 - Vigilants
Medium: Photoshop CS6, Pencil
Scale: Each 'piece' varies, final is 11" x 17"

Notes: The second archetype in a long string of archetypes that I am working on.
This piece was definitely out of my comfort zone because of the composition, color palette, and mood. But I think it was definitely a push forward in where I want to be.
There was a ton of research done for this archetype, so I feel like it was quite a bit more fleshed out than other ones that I've done thus far. All I can say really is that I want to keep pushing harder and learn from what I did here. As always, more to come!

Illustration 5 -- Absolved Character Archetype #1 - The Grafter

Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #1 - The Grafter





Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #1 - The Grafter
Medium: Photoshop CS6, Pencil
Scale: Each 'piece' varies, final is 11" x 17"

Notes: The first assignment for the semester! And these are going to be such fast turnarounds.
Okay, so the first character archetype for Absolved is basically a glorified fence. I intend this character type to be more of a social gamer rather than a combat first type of character.
Throughout the sketches not only was I exploring the character, but also the Displaced race as a whole. What kind of clothing would they wear? What type of areas would they live in? Basic questions were at the forefront of my mind so that I could start to create a bit of environment for these guys / gals to live in.
Ultimately, I realized in the final that there are some shortcomings that I need to get over, most notable the real lack of distinguished light source. But I can say that this is a real step in the right direction for me because I have a real hard time breaking from my reference, so this is a major push into the right direction!
I want to redo this piece before the semester is over so that I can make it right!
More to come.
