Underworld - Character Redesigns...

Character redesigns! Again! Practice Makes Proficient.

A little more angular, a little less 'sexy', slimmed down limbs, more creepy & odd looking... More fitting of the description! Still some work to do to work out the movements & how they will look from different angles. Also to make some minor changes to certain details...

Getting rid of plaits! Unnecessary addition which doesn't really add anything to the design...


Going to add a hammer or weapon to his design...

Need to add something to his t shirt design!



Underworld - Character Colour Experiments.

Started to do a few brief experiments with colour - or lack of colour - on the Medusa designs.
Played around with a style of outlines, more cartoony style & then a purely black & white design. I like the white lines on the block black to add detail.

Then experimented with basic Photoshop block colour - again in a cartoon like style. Relatively simple.

& then I decided I wanted to redesign all the characters again... Still too generic after staring at it for a long time. & I also want to take a different route for the colour...

Illustration inspired by an artist I discovered on Instagram : Nana_Porcelain.



Underworld - Male Designs.


Further body shapes experiments for the daddy! Trying to push stereotypical manly features such as - the V cut with wide shoulders, giant lats & a tiny waist. With some larger calves & thicker arms.




Ideas for the son, a young character being trained as one of Hades handy men - but he hates it & has other dreams...
Slouchy, hunched, shy & unaware with an imp like appearance - though after drawing this I realised he looked mildly like Dobby the house elf...





Underworld - Siren Redesign!


Redesign of the mother & the siren. Pushing the shapes & exaggeration slightly further once again...
