That being said, the character doesn't fit the car in my eyes.... I was actually expecting something more along the lines of what I described: modern day F-Zero.
His hat really kills it for me.
You know what... I really want to do a concept of the character for this car. Is that okay with you? I could do it over the weekend.
Mimiws - Thanks! I guess after working on borderlands I've adapted some of that style into my line work. The way I draw is pretty similar to the way I ink a texture actually. Glad you like it!
Isaiah - Man, you're too cool for doing that. I'm glad you dig the design of the car. Been trying to focus on design in general for this comp. The character is probably the weaker of the two elements, I'll agree with that. But the intention is for him to fit into a very hip hop/ 80's universe. It's actually a pretty fleshed out universe that a friend of mine has created. So I was trying to follow a few rules to stay true to that because I intend to take this further after the competition. I love f zero and similar things but I think it would have fit better had the overall direction been different. At this point though I think i'm too far in to make any drastic changes. But man, I'm totally for seeing what you come up with. I'm not done with the character yet, so it could inspire some things as I continue to work on him. Just running low on time because I have to be done with the car and character within the next two weeks since I'll be going out of town for a bit... which will drastically cut into the competition time. Thanks again man! You're awesome!
Well here's the latest update. I'm crawling on this... I don't think I've done a full character since Domincance War 3, so struggling a bit. Most elements are in at this point, just gotta spend some time detailing things out. I'm not going to go too crazy with the detail, just the occasional strap, zipper, button, etc.
Wow awesome love the proportions and colors, so much style! Its the nice the pants are a solid green with less detail then other areas. All around $olid Character concept!!!
Sweet project man To crit a bit, I think the arms and fingers are too short. On a skinny guy like that, I'll expect the middle finger to be as long as the palm... Also on a human, the ankle should reach the bottom of the pelvic bone, and even if he's stylized his ankles are quite to high in my opinion.
Did you though about something in terms of weapons ?
Something about the style reminds me of the dark animated videos made for the Queens of the Stone Age's latest album, needless to say awesome work. I love the sharp clothing folds. What do you think of a few wholes/tears in his jeans?
My presentation sucks!! So i won't bother with posting all the technical stuff :P Between crunching at work and being out of town I lost a ton of time on this. But considering all that I still feel pretty good about the two beauty shots. I literally submitted with 1 minute left on the deadline, lol. Thanks everyone for helping me along the way!! This was a fun comp!
This is my favorite final entry. I like the switch to a white car. It fits the character better, the green made it feel like the driver should have been an old army sarge.

Really nice Comps actually. I can't tell they were rushed. If you don't like it though you can always make more comps even though the deadline is past. I'm thinking, if anything, there could be some more contrast and shadows. I wouldn't mind seeing what you consider not rushed. Either way though keep it up I like your work.

It looks like a modern take on an F-Zero car.

These are just my opinions! Keep up the good work
I just love this car and think you could push the driver design to match!
The car totally reminds me of Crackdown video game.
Orgoth02 - Always helpful aren't we? :P
