Sketchbook_Brain Drain 11 Pg. 57: Cheshire Cat!

A quick exercise in (lightly) updating an older character design.

For older work featuring this character, please take a look at his tag:

Cheshire Cat work from Advanced Concept Design, 2011

Sketched in Col-Erase and outlined with Prismacolor pencil.

Advanced Concept Design: final Cheshire Cat colors!

^ My final version of the Cheshire Cat for my Advanced Concept Design team / class (the final of which starts in about 45 minutes!).

I have a TONTONTON of artwork to post as soon as I'm - done with college. Hard to believe I graduate on Friday, but I'm ready. Ready!

...And I really, REALLY want to create more work in this style. Thank you, Photoshop, for your Lock Transparency ability.

Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit updates!

Cheshire Cat update!

^ Drawn on tracing paper over the original sketch. I pronounced the angles in his design slightly, including a flattened head and chest.

^ More work for Advanced Concept Design - featuring revised Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit designs - as well as some Brainsick stuff for Senior Studio II. I attended Monday morning and got some of Paranoid's expressions down in marker and an HB Staedtler pencil (a la cleanup style model sheet). I've begun studies for Lily and will include similar expressions for her. Both Paranoid and Lily, as well as Finch, will have cleanup model sheets, complete with expressions and poses.

Many of Paranoid's expressions were referenced from dog photos, altered to fit his character. I will alter some of them so that they look more on-model.

Enjoyed some nostalgia after class on Monday: I sat in the cafe at Powell's, bought a delicious sandwich, and focused on 'inking' Paranoid's expressions for a couple hours or so. I spent much of my off-class time during my first several terms in Powell's, reading or drawing.

Spent today at school with my concept team and got some nice drawings completed for Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit. They're both a lot of fun to draw.

Start-off for Sketchbook_Brain Drain 5 (Colossus)!

^ More developmental work for the Cheshire Cat, as well as for the White Rabbit. I came up with thumbnails for both a human and anthropomorphic White Rabbit; as we want to keep a mystical air about the story, the White Rabbit will indeed be a white rabbit.

I kicked off Brain Drain 5 with a construction guide for Paranoid. I'm going to continue working on him tomorrow morning (later today...).

Wrap-up pages for Sketchbook_NS 2!

^ It's about time I updated! These were scanned on Thursday during my six-hour wait between my morning and night classes. I have a TON more pages to scan, so keep your eyes peeled.

Lots of developmental work for the Cheshire Cat (my concept group is doing Alice in Wonderland in a gladiatorial Roman setting), plus study pages from pixelovely.com.

The bottom-most studies were done to help me tie down Paranoid's design. I'm working on some Brainsick stuff for Senior Studio II.
