I did two pages of these but I can't seem to find the first one, so here's the second! I think one of my biggest take-aways was that the "Strength" characters were usually very top-heavy and bulky.
I'll admit I wasn't necessarily focusing on proportions as much as shapes and poses.
I was actually somewhat surprised how easily most characters seemed to fit into one of the three categories (or at least dominantly into one).
For Part 2 of the prompt I toyed around with a few ideas and ended up going "I wonder how anthropomorphic ferrets might look in those roles...." and much as I tried to go back and work on more humanoid characters, these guys kept calling me back.
Things I tried to focus on were that the "Intellect"-based one had a lot of random dangles and an overall complicated set of garb, but a very simple actual body-shape.
For the "Agility" critter I tried for more curves and a very "poised" pose as well as an elongated set of gestures. I also liked the idea of him having an accessory belt. ;)
For the "Strength" one I went for a very broad upper-body as well as a lot more pronounced fur and claws. I also shortened the tail, neck, and ears.
The "Strength" one also reminds me of a were-ferret. ;)
Yay ferrets! Yeah I agree, the str one does look kind of were-ferrety, but I think that's something you would be prone to anyway with anthro characters, and not given any context.
ReplyDeleteYour agility one reminds me of Reepicheep a bit :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's the beefier proportions to the other two that gives off the were vibe. Well, and the howling too. But still definitely conveys strenth!
