New Character Wipage

jbrophy

Starting on some concepts for a new character. It will be slow going as I have a baby on the way but I have not done any personal art for a while now and am starting to get the itch. You know the one. No ointment will help. The hope is to go down the path to a final 3d print as I have not done this yet. Any suggestions on the whole 3d print process? Things to look out for or take into account at the concept level?

Some concepts

Firebert

B2 & D2 being "2" is the lower strip of concepts

congrats on the soon to be brophy jr! good luck man! will this be your first?

zxcman

I like B variant!

Shiv

d 2 .. maybe make it less symetrical so only one of the arms is shieldy.
maybe a1 for the other arm?

Hey Jbrophy,

You have some really great silhouettes. I personally like D2 the best.

I am looking forward to see what you pump out for this.

Firebert - Thanks! This will be my second. We also have a very active 4 year old. Fitting art in my limited freetime has be difficult the last couple of years.

ZXCMan - that one has been a favorite of several people.

D2 - I think that one is my fav also.

turpedo - Thanks. The shapes are a good starting point for me. Now on to the drawing. I am so far from a concept artist it is not even funny.

Ok decided to do a combination of F&G with some head features from E. Just starting the line drawing now. Now happy with the chest to ab area, will remake that at lunch.

turpedo

Looking awesome!

He reads to me as a tough boss character in an FPS game .

I am looking forward to how the hands will turn out. They have a really interesting shape to them.

How are you doing the lines? might be easiest to do it in a vector program.
