Title: Absolved - Character Portraits
Medium: Pencil, White Ink, Chalk

Notes: The first exploration into my (now currently) BFA project. These are the first character portrait designs for the (potential) graphic novel characters that are in the works. More on these in the coming weeks.
Title: Absolved - Bounty Hunters
Medium: Pencil, White Ink

Notes: The Vigilants are a group of basically bounty hunters for hire. I was just sketching around and these two happened to manifest themselves. I'm thinking that these could be some interesting side characters or villains perhaps for Absolved.

Title: Absolved - Six Character Archetypes
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Each 'piece' is 11" x 17"

Notes: Over the course of the entire semester, you've probably seen these in some form or another.

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #5 - Masques
Date: October 20 - November 4, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Sketches vary, Final is 11" x 17"

Notes: I think that during this piece, I went through so many variations of the same thing... That damn hand holding the knife has been redrawn like thirty times. I tried good reference, I tried just winging it, I tried copying directly... I think that ultimately, I just, as always, need to draw more hands.

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Hellions
Date: October 1 - 16, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Sketches vary, Final is 11" x 17"

Notes: You know how that moment hits you? That moment where you realize that what you've painted is not exactly what was in your head? I think it's safe to say that's what happened here. There was something that fell apart at the conceptual phase that should have been more realized early on. All I can say is that I need to draw like a billion more children to get a proper handle on drawing them without reference.

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Foundling (WIP)
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Varies.

Notes: Just working on the next character archetype. I can honestly say that I have the character down it feels like, but the background needs a ton of work. I think I want to go the creepy Sam Wolfe Connelly route on this one. Have some dark stuff in the background, because let's face it... these kids are psychotic!
