  • tankgirlsweetp replied

    I have my character(s) figured out and his story. Im now just playing with designs on how to make him fit in my style while hitting all the requirements. :)

  • Christie Macavei(acmartist) replied

    I could use any sort of critiques on this. But, this is the first character design...I might post the next one later. ( also...for some reason when I saved it the image flipped...oh well)

    I'm still picking away at this extreme fisheye shot

  • faithfulimagination replied

    Amazing perspective! Great job so far.

  • faithfulimagination replied

    I really like his mask! The texture and detail looks really good so far. His pose does seem a little stiff and slightly stretched. Try having his back angled slightly more from his hips. You would probably see a little more of his arm hidden behind his body. And don't cut off that hand in the front show it and be proud. That's all I got. Keep it up!

    Just some skull and mask sketches for the contest.

  • Lauren (peach) replied

    Today I've mostly been sculpting, things are slowly shaping up

  • Cory Mitan(cmiart) replied

    Is there a specific reason the KAY-9 is spelled the way it is, as opposed to simply K-9? Would it be frowned upon to use K-9, or K9, instead?

  • Christie Macavei(acmartist) replied

    Thanks ffaithfulimagination! The pose has been throwing me off. I'll try what you suggested! Thanks :)

  • Christie Macavei(acmartist) replied

    Okay. I'm having issues with the other hand....I tried taking some reference photos but it just doesn't seem right. I want to make sure that the police baton was visible but it still feels like the weapon is "hidden"

  • Dore Diskin(nightchanger) replied

    I'm coming from the field of blender than concept.
    Here's my first approach.

    I've got a lot of sketches of the character. I'm doing a Japanese woman.
    But trying one that fits both formal attire as shown and oriental culture is a bit challenging.

    my progress so far

  • Lauren (peach) replied

    This one is going to take a looot longer to finish than I initially intended

  • iamknot replied

    This is a really cool take on in. It's great that it's a security camera that's showing us these criminals. Really makes it meta, but in the best kind of way.

  • faithfulimagination replied

    Maybe don't have the weapon straight down by her side. You could possibly even point it at the viewer. Are you doing more than one piece? I would honestly work on one and make it amazing.

  • faithfulimagination replied

    This is a really cool idea!

  • faithfulimagination replied

    I love the pose!!!!

  • faithfulimagination replied

    Thats okay! Just keep going.
