Here is the product of my work for the past few weeks, 4 panels dealing with "4" characters that I hope to do a short cartoon with in the future. Going clockwise from the top left, there is Biffo, our hapless hero, a clown out of touch and on the brink of being out of a job, Rupert Bossman, the impatient and short-tempered CEO of YukYuk Incorporated (the clown firm that Biffo works for), Sasha, a tween-aged, conceited, and condescending "princess", who's birthday party is being placed in the hands of Biffo to entertain, and finally "The Twins", Carolyn and Carter, good kids with the bad luck of having Sasha as a bossy best friend. The intent of these panels was to portray them in a given scenario they may commonly be in, to give an idea through the visuals of what these characters are like, and how they carry themselves as people.
I had hoped with this project to create a diverse cast in many ways, such as their outlooks as characters, their different lifestyles, as well as technically diverse, such as their construction and proportions. It was my attempt to make characters that were interesting to look at, as well as being characters you want to see more of, and are interested in the story they're going to tell you.
I'm personally pleased with the results, but I'm always open to any comments, critiques, concerns, or compliments that may come my way, so please feel free to let me know what you think!
These really turned out great! wow! I seriously could see these characters used in tv show or something. I can tell you put a lot of time into this and Everyone should really appreciate that. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI really like your style and tha way you draw your characters. It is like a real cartoon. I cant wait to see this animated and have Biffo walking and talking.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I really like the 4th one alot. They turned out really good :D I can see imagine the characters in my head talking and moving because you did a such a great job on their expression along with the composition :)
ReplyDeleteYour panels look good. I do have some suggestions. For the clown his body language needs to be adjusted. If he is worried about losing his job I don't think he would be so upright. Thinking a little hovered over or slouching over. Kinda dragging his feet type of movement. Also for the "princess" character does she think she is a princess or is she treated like on. Neither of those are shown here. If she is treated like one her room would be looking a lot different. Canopy bed maybe, lots of pink and shinny stuff around. She would also be dressed more like a princess. I love the CEO I think you have that character done well. His face says alot. The twins look like they are really scared of her but where are there legs and bodies? Did you just want to portray just there faces?
ReplyDeleteGood job man, I really like the the turn out of the 4 drawings they work really well with each other. Your color choice and your choice of angles. I really like how they all have different expressions in each panel really keeps your viewer interested, Good job
ReplyDeleteThese are looking really good. It really makes me think of a cartoon show you'd actually see on TV. Can't wait to see the animated versions of these characters!
