Straight DUMPIN'

Hey all, It's the busy season, so I'll probably be posting more frequently, and to start things off, here is a bit of a dump of recent work, as well as an "exclusive sneak peak" at my character Design Final project

First is a rejected character that I was initially going to finish for the final. Never let it be said that I don't acknowledge my failures:

Then some hand sketches:

A sidekick to the time-traveling Lars, and color variations for her as well:

And finally, the new character I'm using for my final, Gavin the Gallant:

Character Design: Quantum Leapin'


The Product of two assignments in Character design: First was a "MadLibs" style construction of a character, wherein the descriptors given to me were "Short, Bulky, Triangular Construction, and Ditzy Personality".

From there we had to come up with attire suitable for 9 different time periods.

enjoy!

Character Design: Eliza

For character design, we continued our focus on the fairer sex.

Eliza was a character I made for a story I was writing in high school. The story was pretty terrible, as are most written by high school students, but I feel like most of the characters are salvageable, and I wanted to try my hand at redesigning her.


She's a graffiti artist, as well as an urban explorer. An all around punk and street-urchin.

For the assignment we had to include 3 varying costumes as well as the characters attitude in said costumes. I think I went a little far with these, but I really wanted to draw a pirate and a luchador...so that's that.

This Week in Sketches: Ladies Night


we were focused on drawing ladies in character design this week, including drawing from models and trying to "Ariel-ize" them.

plus I threw in two sketches of Captain Hook for good measure

Design For Media Project Duncan, Week 00: Final Proposal

attached is my proposal document:

Proposal

As well as a final Cast line-up sketch, in case you've forgotten who's in it:


I kinda like the fact that this poor man's entire life is subject to the whims of people who are smaller than he is.
