A quick character sketch of mine

OZ · January 23, 2008, 12:26:27 AM

I've been thinking of making a character using Slayer(Guilty Gear) as a base.
I've named this character "The Man", and he is merely in the brainstorming stage.

Here is a quick free-hand sketch that I made today because I was bored.
I know his leg is wierd, but aside from that, I think it looks ok.

he looks like regal a little bit

Never thought about that.
He does kind of.
It's the suit I guess.

Please tell me he has ($) for projectiles.

Can't wait to stick it to the man.

Doing a man?
You could rip the SENATOR from Eternal champions and use it as a base I guess.

Well I was thinking of using that as a base for my Weighted Companion Character.
Any suited character could serve as a good base I suppose.
But Slayer was the only one I could think of that had a pipe.
I was thinking of the all-powerful father icon of the 50's, and the pipe was a neccessity.

I've been looking for a Slayer sprite sheet, but the search has only turned up a few things of interest.

The drawing could be better before you start spriting. The proportions are off (legs too short and hips too small particularly) and he looks stiff. The stiff look makes him appear to be tipping over instead of leaning. I'd try arching his back more.

OZ · January 23, 2008, 07:01:22 PM

Yeah. I never really felt good about his legs.
I'll work on them alot more before I'm happy with them.

When you say arch his back, you mean farther to the right, right?

I do tend to draw at an angle (an old flaw of mine) so most of my stuff sometimes appear to be leaning.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Anyway, this is just a concept sketch, so I don't plan on spriting this actual drawing. I'll probably focus on some actual Slayer poses before I begin spriting.

Nice, but his legs are disproportional for the rest of the body.
Try to draw him in different forms to compare.

OZ · January 27, 2008, 10:25:53 PM

Working on it as we speak.

Pasty · January 28, 2008, 07:43:11 PM

No, I mean actually make the back bend. Right now it's totally straight, just tilted at an angle. Try drawing a single line to represent the spine and work around it. I always like to look at myself as I mimic the pose to get things like that done right, but I'm weird.

OZ · January 28, 2008, 10:53:25 PM

Oh, I see what you mean now.
Thanks.

I'll see if I can work on it.
