Sometimes working with people can be a challenge.
Some people are really good about what they want from your work- what they want it to look like and who they want it to look like.
The game group I am doing some work for at the moment asked me to design a character names Eva- giving me the description of her being a middle-aged overweight bus driver for a camp that looks a bit like John Goodman.
And so I got to work!
Above you can see the first design I made of this character- simple enough- pretty flat coloring and a skin tone that could make anyone ill. (hahaha)
The people in charge were not happy with the resulting character design so they gave me more for a description to work off of. But first, before I could work on body design again, they wanted for me to design them several faces that they could choose from.
Head set 1.
Head set 2.
Once I sent these two pages of heads into them they instantly went for Head set 2, first row, second head- or in short, the one with the headband.
Once there was a head chosen I was off to rework the body!
But this time, instead of the look of a bus driver as I had assumed, they wanted me to work her into a look of a middle aged biker chick who took up bus driving in the summer months to rake in a few bucks.
Whoo hoo! So they liked the design of her! But there was one last thing they wanted to add into the character- they wanted to make her a few moths pregnant.
Just a few- So finally, after a few more sketches and check in's I had the final resulting character.
This is Evangeline.
