Sean is a character I made a few years ago. (Whoo! Really doesn't feel that long. But I guess it's been 4? Sheesh!! His prototype has been around for even longer.) Well, Yesterday I decided to paint him a little. On the left is what I painted March 27 2011. It is compared to a paint I did of him last summer, 2010. Crazy, eh? I suck at remembering what my own characters look like; but then again, these were always intended to be evolving characters, that evolve with my mood, age, likes, etc. The ears and whatnot have nothing to do with it; always there/apart of the character. He is also in two stages of life though, as well. The left is becoming post-transformation while the right is pre-transformation, though probably not long before he does for the first time. The story is more about a deepening of human desire and misery. Afterwards, though, is naivety and a certain amount of death.
Anyway, here it is compared with a ref I made perhaps the summer even before that; this is still the design I want to adhere to (on top). The rest is a littering of crappy drawings and panels I made that don't adhere so well. But anyway.
Ah, I love Sean.
I love seeing characters develop through the years! Sean looks so lovely now ^^ I love how fluffy his hair looks, and the way you drew his eye makes him look so introspective. It's fun to see these peeks and glimpses of your characters, they always leave me wanting to know more ^^
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!! : D Introspective, I thought about that the day I read that. I think it's a good word to describe these characters, especially him. Thank you!
