UNIVERSE MACHINE: More redesign sketches!

As I push in a different stylistic direction, I felt it would be useful to do a few redesign sketches of old characters, despite there being little opportunity to work on Universe Machine any time soon.

Spaceguy Jekyll and Hyde character designs

Sort of an assignment, not really sure. Construction sketches for a futurisitc/space-themed Jekyll and Hyde!

Spring/Summer 2011 Promo Postcard!

Around "done," minus typography and hue adjustments (the R25's monitor is overly warm). 

It's a Mailer Daemon. Get it? Hyuck!

Martok character sketches

I think I've settled on a mini-comic concept, a kind of goofy comedy/fantasy story about Martok, the barbarian. The volumes and articulation of the full body sketch are kind of jacked, but I think I'm pretty happy with the overall shape design. Going to be referencing those ancient French cave paintings for the overall mood and aesthetic of the book - so black and white, or sepia, loose shape based figures, not a lot of dynamic depth perception in the shots, etc. 

It's a stylistic choice and not a cop-out excuse to get lazy, I swear!

Character design assignment, rendered

I feel like it's a little over-rendered, and I didn't get to experiment with paint textures as much as I would've liked, just because I wanted to get this done to make way for other projects. Still, pretty fun, and I'm satisfied with the result.

Who is this scummy dude? #characterdesign #sketch #cartoon

Short term illustration project for this week. Super rough character designs based on written description. I won't post the actual verbiage because I'm pretty sure it's licensed content, so YOU tell ME : what, when and where this guy is.

I wanted to do some more variations tonight (and a little more Motorcade work), but I got some reading to get done before I pass out.

"Motorcade," Victoria Capella gesture sketches

Only three so far, but I feel like the exercise really helped me nail down her shapes.
