some Dogs

Hopefully I can get some good critique on this before just picking one I like and crashing and burning as a result. :)

I'm mostly worried about them being too obviously my style. I know it's pretty obvious on a few of these, but on others I really tried to keep myself out of it. That's going to be the hardest part of this assignment for me.

Rough concepts for hero and villainess

The non-stereotypical hero. Non-stereotypical because it looks like you could impale him on a toothpick. Or something equally unpleasant and ridiculously easy. Not his fault someone chucked him a sword, kicked him out the door, and ordered him to go save the world.

And for my stereotypical villainess... hopefully the fact that she's ethnic doesn't kill the stereotype too much. She does have evil demons at her beck and call... I think those are somewhat standard in the evildoers' world. She'll be a little sexy too, if I can manage that.

Best gestures from this week's funtime session

I was using a Col-erase pencil at first and sucking hard... and then I switched to a standard liquid ink pen and my drawings suddenly got a lot better. Weird.

Fun Gestures + a caricature

Basically, this outfit ruled. I definitely need to go to these gesture sessions more often, for the honage of my skills besides the whole "hooray for drawing buddies" thing.

Also, I like that my random weapon of choice was a purple ballpoint pen.

In other news, the more I think about it the more I'm sure I should have turned this guy in for the caricature assignment.

Classmate caricatures

I don't think I'm pushing these even remotely close enough, so no doubt there will be more to come. :)

I think I like Jake's "angry face" the most.

Character Design class --- silhouettes + positive shapes

Stupid printers on campus weren't cooperating so I wasn't able to participate in the critique. These turned out OK, I think... not great, because this assignment kicked my butt. Oh well. I like the army guy best.
