if you guys like this for some reason I can show my deeper studies + other character studies
as an art student and aiming to be an animator / character designer, I be doin studies
Design notes:
▪︎I aim to make Lizzy's hair a bit more fluffy/wavy since she is a cheerleader, her hair wouldn't stay perfect without using a ton of hairspray
▪︎WHY DID THEY MAKE HER BOW LOOK LIKE CAT EARS??? pls so many ppl view it as cat ears and so did I when I first watched the pilot when it came out
▪︎They did a great job making the orange match, including the eyes almost matching the tinted hair, however due to harsh lighting in the 3D vers its hard to tell if they kept the pink
▪︎I brighten her palette to make her more noticable and stand out, plus she appears 'happier' than the other drones
Pink Swap AU design notes:
▪︎Her clothes are from her dead mother, which is why its all oversized
▪︎Lizzy has the depression and does self harm, so theres dents and scratches on her arms that remains hidden with the sleeves
▪︎To make the au Lizzy to look more different than the original, the bow is more poofy/full, however she can be drawn with any bow type as she owns many
I’m just going to go ahead and share the concept sketches I have for her “Cybertronian” guise that I mentioned in the tags of my last post. Her robot form has been quite the challenge to design because I really want her to read as unearthly, and that there ain’t something right with this being, like this is something primordial pretending to be something it’s not. Plus there’s the challenge of trying to make a design where the beast mode collapses into a smaller robot mode; as she’s mostly based on the Predacons from Prime who’s “base” form is the beast mode while the robot form is more like the vehicle mode for other Cybertronians. I also want her to look the part of a TFP Predacon because they weren’t just,,, metal dragons, they looked distinctly alien in beast mode (Predaking’s mandibles for example) and had a sort of fear factor to their designs (Predaking’s dragon form having visible teeth like a skull also as an example) She gotta look like a freak!!
I guess she’d technically be a triple changer since she got this weird “angelic” mode that is used for space travel and reentry, but I’m not sure if it counts as a separate alt?
So far the details I have solidified for the robot form design is that part of her spine forms the “halo” behind her neck and shoulders, her chestplate splits and folds up for the smaller robot mode, the retractable claws of the beast mode become her fingers, and that her wings split into six along the different layers of “feathers”, four on her back, two used as hip skirts. The head of the beast mode is actually tucked away into one of her arms and can be used like a cannon, and has a bunch of freaky pseudo organic details like teeth <3
She’s horrible and her presence sets off Geiger counters and other energy reading devices.
Her alias would be Singularity!
(I’d also be more than happy to answer any questions regarding this moron! I’ll try to provide doodles to accompany them :})
For this week, I'll be getting a random character description and drawing my interpretation.
Today's debrief:
This woman puts you in mind of a malevolent demon. She has droopy eyes the color of the afternoon sky. Her thick, curly, black hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a river. She is tall and has an angular build. Her skin is white. She has stubby-fingered hands. Her wardrobe is severe.
I have a LOT of work do on my anatomy as I, in particular, hate how flat and boring my characters feel. I also have been working on diversifying characters in my art (mostly so I can make designs like below to better match my OCs and how I write them in my story as well as doing more fanart of characters.)
I feel as though I am on the path to getting where I want to be and I'm sorta proud of this little sketch I did yesterday. Have a peek of what I've been up to lately.
Also if you have criticism on my anatomy I'm up to hearing it you can find my Instagram on my bio! I have much more there you can look at.
