[wip] Character design remakes take 2 or 3 or something

[Chris2balls]

Here's something between the two first versions:

[1up]

This edit below covers where I think you might be having trouble with the big guy.


I feel that he needs more definition and volume on his triceps and shoulders. Got rid of that curvy bit
near the upper torso as well (it made him appear somewhat effeminate). Added a bit more flare to the
pants as well. 

fuck
that curve was what was making it look weird
that was bugging me for so long haha

might now have defined the shoulders enough, but i tried making them a big broader

finally got some advice on the arm anatomy too(it's still probably a bit off, but i'm still working on it)
tried messing with the top hat guy's build a bit too

the fixes are pretty minor because i wanted to see if i could get away with doing something that small, if not i'll probably have to completely revisit the first guy's body

[Chris2balls]

That thumb looks off, so does the right leg. I'd give him more ass too, pocket-level. I'll get an edit up.

The triceps is flexed (near the shoulder) when the arm is down!

I think your buying into the "realism is brown" fad a little too much

The new purple guy looks awesome. I would advise you to go into little color details for the rest too. Give them a color identity besides their anatomy and pose identities.

Some suggestions might be:

- Thick suspenders for the big guy
- Other color for the blond guy's sweater around his waist

The other two have clear color identities now with the purple and red, so that's fine.

I think the remake might be the time to find a better pose for the blond guy too, somehow the action line is very similar to the fire dude. Maybe make his body face the other way while his face remains looking right (does that make sense?)

>realism is brown fad
waht

and yeah i get what you mean with the pose
i'll probably mess with his design a bit more too, the colors are really 'blah' right now, and the design itself isn't that great

[Chris2balls]

Don't forget the thumb, check out what I did on the side of his chest, the part that slides in between the arm and shoulder muscles, ass, love handles, tits etc.

The brown reminds me of miascugh :p

[1up]

hhhhhhhopefully done with the second guy
although im not even sure what i was doing on with the far arm haha


sketched out a new pose for the 4th guy
something more dynamic might be a bit more fitting, idk

[Gil]

Here's an attempt at getting them a bit more personality.



See what I'm getting at? Each has a distinct color pattern. I dunno, I might be talking out of my ass of course. The new pose is just some experiment to get a body shape you haven't explored yet.
