Jack Plantain: Banana Man

PHIllstead

Hi everyone! I'm a student in the bay area working on my character art skills. Here is one of the characters I created, and I'm looking for some feedback! I still have a lot to learn and practice, so anything you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated.

The numbers on his front are the atomic weight of Potassium. The number on his back is the scientific number of Potassium.

I think the design could be improved if the numbers represented Banansium or at least something yellow

That's so awesome. From now on when I'm peeling bananas at Orange Julius I'll imagine this guy.

@Minorthreat and Peris: Thank you!

@Shotgun: The tattoos were definitely something I had problems initially dealing with. I wanted to the character to be grounded in some sort of reality though. The idea that he was affected by "Banansium" in a sort of Bruce Banner - Hulk way is definitely absurd and awesome, but not something I was trying to go for. But the more that I think about it, the more I like it.

@Dan! I have no idea how to talk in what I just watched. I guess I will have to his title to something like Banana Commando or something similar.
