Character Design Nonsense

Well, for some odd reason I've been cranking out lots and lots of character designs...Probably to finish up the room left in my sketchbook...Either way I'm making characters at a rate in which I may have to many to actually deal with. So I'm going to stop, do some cleanup, and then colour them...Choose my favorites of the bunch, and stick up here a week or two from now, before I head off for a long vacation of boredom and no internet access at my cottage in NovaScotia.

The designs have all been non-sensical, really just whatever comes off the top of my head. I love Sci-Fi, so theres robots and aliens and sexy cyborg girls....or monsters, or bugs.....anything. When I start a character I like modeling the lines like sculpture. I start of very geometric and loose, and as soon as it appears to take an appealing shape I pounce and administer all sorts of different pieces, add details, try out different ligament poses.....For example, I could do a sketch within a sketch and later on seperate that into two characters. I'm always trying to find a way to better a character or add on to them....and it is definitely difficult to decided when enough is enough. Either way its all fun, and I enjoy it.

Here's two Sci-fi people, Im probly going to re-work the girls arm into the contoured line position closer to her hips, seems more appealing visually. PS...This is also a drawing style I've taken as an approach to drawing the recent slew of characters I spoke of, its very simple, rigid and cartoony...with no real attention to perspective logic or symmetry
