Getting Back to It!

I have gone MIA since summer started due to work & all manner of other things...

BUT I've been working on my Ancient Family concept, deciding that I would like to develop it as a full bible as opposed to a short film.

Some of the feedback I received, mainly from the tutors, were that the character styling were too harsh & pointy. So I've started to experiment with different character styling concentrating on the four main characters initially.

A more cartoon like simplified approach to the family, which I also think allows for more personality to be conveyed in a way due to the simplicity of the features.

2nd Year is Over!! So have some more sketches/paintings! :)

Inspired by @Fevur & @Robsayart on Instagram!! 

Yet more procrastination...

I saw this guy driving the bus the other & felt I had to draw him...

& yet more pro marker & gel pen drawings on toned paper.

Character Ideas.

Random character's I've sketched in spare minutes & times of procrastination...

Underworld - Initial Character Turnarounds.

Initial characters for the other three members of the family! Only rough & initial as I'm aware some adaptations may need to be made regarding animating & the style. Also I am aware that one side of them is armless... just to show shape & detail etc they're not just a one armed family...

Charon - the Papa destined to take people across the River Styx.

Xander - the younger son in training to be a minion of Hades.

Last pose is a liiiittle bit off weight wise, take two!

Leucia - a Siren, in love with her job.

All will need to be neatened up & coloured & inked in such anyway...
