Not to rain on your parade Comlock, but you're sort of losing the interesting aspects of your style in the new design.

First of all, let's break down why the new design is more appealing:

-> It has discernable hips and boobs, aka "sexiness." It no longer looks like a blob.
-> More proportional head.
-> Facial features are better defined.
-> Cleavage :bing:
-> Shoulders are broad and straight, which provide in-figure contrast.
-> Better pose/line of action.

On the other hand, the new design is a little boring. It's very disney. I like how you're pushing her expression in the clean-up pose, but the face I find most interesting is the cock-eyed one on top. Push that a little bit and it would be a great expression for the character, and it seems to retain a bit more of "you."

The new one seems perkier, while the old one has a business-like demeanor.

Also, give that clean-up pose boobs. She's flatchested right now.

Overall, it's good work. Just be aware of how you're handling your style.

And I made some more "my style" expressions.

I dont think I can push it to much on that character, or else it wouldent look much like herself. Ill leave that to the more "Cartoony" characters in the movie I guess, and have her as a more "realistic" character

For character sheets, it's best to go too far and have to reign it back during production than the other way around. Awesome new expressions, they're MUCH more you. :)

Holy smokes, those were her boobs? I thought they were her shoulders :blink: The new ones are better, but give her a visible shoulder on the right side. Sorry to be so picky. :(


Colesif, I know you said you want to get a good feel for Lucky by drawing him alot, but I found for me that my artwork improved fastest by going for vareity -- in style, medium, character etc, and stressing essentials like anatomy and lighting. Have you cosidered drawing a hyper-realistic lucky? As in, the proportions and the feel of his character stay mostly the same, but you define his muscles, skeleton, and anatomical details?

Another thing that a lot of people seem to do (me included, for a long time) is give cat extrodinarily long metatarsals and ankles (the part of the leg directly above the pads). This is incorrect; cats actually have long SHINS. This construction gives them thrust while they run. I've noticed that giving my characters (the ones that walk on their toes) the long-shin construction tends to make them look stronger and more dynamic. Just a thought.

A belated thanks for the comments about my last submission in this thread.

Comlock: Cool sketches. That last one is hella amusing too :)

For myself, today I simply turned this:

Generally I don't much like the whole animated gif with "blinkies" thing... but it was a Christmas trade for someone.

Awesome sketch and awesome result. Her face looks a little freaky in the final -- washed out, I think.

:bing: She blinks! :bing:

Anghenfil: Thanks. I kinda nabbed droplets of colour from her ref image and didn't think to add any warmth to it. Thought it might be all a bit much with so much colour in there already. Will probably fix that though - thanks for pointing it out.

Bruce: Lovely landscape you drew there. The tonal work creates a nice mood, and I like some of the character in those trees.

Edit: Fixed the colour if anyone else is interested.
