looking for some characters for a band video

Steve Schulze · Jan 2011

They're a little tricky to crit, as you're evidently going for a very stylised treatment. The anatomy could probably do with a bit of development here and there, but it does depend entirely on what you're wanting them to look like in the end.

Jister · Jan 2011

well in real life they look like this

and the band's name is the rott childs which obviously is a satire on the fam rothschild. so they should be some kind off rich villains. maybe they're still to "clean". mayba a more "rotten" look is better...

another one, this one is for a game in the making at work.

Same again, character wip from a game in the making at work.

Why the collapsed foreheads?

Jister · Feb 2011

In your first post, the foreheads on all the characters are convex. I see that you are going for a strong temple and brow in your style, but is confusing to see from the front.

Also, this looks a lot like a friend of mine.

ah i see what you mean with this one

the later one don't really have a convex shape there.

i could clean up the hair line one this one, tends to go a bit convex at the trasition

think this one doesn't have the "problem"

thanks i'll keep an eye on that

redesign for the nikked one in the picture. still not the one i think.

The problem I see with these "studies" is that you're not really capturing the "character" of the band members. My suggestion would be to model them somewhat accurately, then stylize them. Do some research on caricatures as well. This will help with your decision making. "what features should i exaggerate, and why?" kind of thing.

Jister · Mar 2011
