k, seeing as nothing I do seems to come out right. I'm way behind on school for this week, so I didn't have a lot of time to devote to art challenge, but hey I got it done at least! The animals I picked was a blue-tailed skink and a damselfly. I'm not really sure how much either of those came out in my designs... My concept sketches I didn't bother really focusing on his job, just more looks, getting decent proportions, and an appealing design.
The job I picked was a call center, either doing collections calls or telemarketing. I rather liked the idea of him having more than 4 arms (plus legs) so that he could hold multiple phones at once, so I ended up going with my first design on the top. Even went with roughly the same pose. However, my guy actually enjoys his job!
Like I said, I'm not really happy with it. The scanner ate it and spit out something not very good looking, so I tried to add a little bit of VERY simple shading just to show the limbs in the back and what was behind stuff, but I don't think that came out very well either. Oh well, here it is:
I get the skink in there. :) And the bug from the multiple limbs, but yeah not so much damselfly in particular on the guy you did go with. Since the other two thumbnails have the damsel/dragonfly shape wings, you get the idea of that certain bug better on those two. I like his face! He really does look like he is enjoying what he is doing -- contrary to what you hear most of the time from people who have done those jobs. ;)
ReplyDeleteScanners so have a way of making me hate life sometimes. ;) There is one at work that is better calibrated than any I've ever owned or used.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that it really does seem as if he's enjoying his job there. ;) All those little arms must come in handy!
I like the design of the wings and such in your concept sketches! I can definitely see the "skink"-side in particular coming through! (I'm am sorry to hear you're behind on school this week though, hopefully that is one of those things that will always come in tides for all of us, that is: some weeks will be more busy and we'll have rushed work, and other times we will have time to focus and hone in, but some productivity will always be better than none at all!)
