Aha! Revamps and Painting!

So quite a bit has happened over the past week, we had a discussion about the characters and we wanted them more stylised as i noticed they were edging towards a more human appearance, so I sat down for an hour or so drawing new styles and mostly chewing the end of a pencil in frustration since I had artist's block most of the week. But in the end, I managed to come up with a new main character that made the other team mates happy. Plus I liked it (I guess that helps), it felt like a character that I could draw again and again but I needed to redo some of the other characters first, so I did.

I then decided to finally create something on Photoshop  Now, I've never really been that good at painting whether it be traditional or digital. I always found myself sticking to pencil drawings but as I've developed within my game design course I've tried many different things one of them being Photoshop which I didn't touch until halfway through my first year. I think that I have improved over the past couple of years but as always, I'll leave you to be the judge. 

This is the new main character. he hasn't been painted yet, but he's near completion, he has the same sort of clothing on like the previous incarnations but the body now has longer arms and a bigger head, eyes and longer mouth. It is a lot easier to model in 3D as well.

This is a design for one of the characters the main character will meet along the way, you can see on the Photoshopped image i played around with chain mail. I cant tell if it was successful or not but at least I tried

Matt insisted that there needed to be a hippie wizard in the game somewhere so I drew one. I like this design mainly because of the floating orb he's sitting on. yesterday Matt said that the smoke from the pipe should feed an orb of smoke underneath him so I'm going to play around with that as well as finish the main character. I've got a lot of work to do today considering I'm going to be off the radar tomorrow playing one of the games I've been waiting for for ages so I'll post in a few more days.

Don't forget to comment on what you see! Help is appreciated on how I can improve on my work.
