Concepts

Some may say it's too early to be concepting characters. BUT! If I'm going to be story boarding later on in the year, then I'm going to need to be prepared.

I've tried mixing around with styles for my main character, Iron. First I attempted Jamie Smart's smooth and blocky style.

I know what you're going to say! "Hang on! That character looks a lot like the one at the top of the page!" Yes, you're right. The character concept here and the one at the top of the page is Iron. I've been drawing this character for a while now, but have never added a different art style other then my own. Sinse he's my own character, I thought I might as well use him for this project and see if I can achieve a good, fitting look for him. Hense the art style research!

Next I tried Jhonen Vasquez's extreme jaggered style

And then tried mixing the two

I'll carry on doing concepts until I'm happy with one style. Once that's sorted I'll apply it to other characters.
