Character design for Book Project



I'm working on loads of character development and concepts for a book project which I am illustrating. I can't say too much about it at this time, but will share bits and pieces when I can. This is a concept sketch of one of the characters. At this point, I'm developing and working on the look and idea of this guy . . . the final character will be a bit more gnarly.

My friend Menton has a great look which totally inspired this character. Check out Menton's work, he does awesome work for publications such as IDW and so on.



Sketch detail . . . I always love the way these quicker paintings look, especially close up.



My block in . . . establishing shape rather quickly with a bit of color and value thrown in to sculpt the idea.

Cool! Love your technique man, kinda reminds me of Uncle Olav from Lemony Snicket, except more fiendish... The book will be awesome. Can't wait for your critique for assigment 1 for Schoolism.
