back to the character designs! today on The Hunger Games, here’s some ideas about our man Gale. or should i say, Katniss’s man…
one of my favorite nights came and went last week – sketch night! hosted the first Wednesday of every month in The Geek Easy at A Comic Shop in Orlando, FL. quite the contrast from last months model who was seriously in character the whole time and didn’t so much crack a smile. this month’s model was interactive and smiling, which gave a very positive vibe for the night. as always, we start off with 30 second poses and i’m working in Copic Sketch markers.
next, the one minute poses, still with the Copic Sketch. so, i should mention, our model is dress as an anime character. i have no idea which one though!
for the 5 minute poses, i quickly went to a rough thick pencil to get an idea of the form and shape. then quickly to Copic 0.5 multiliner for the real inking and adjusting on the fly. on the second image, i poke fun Rob Liefield, a famous comic book artist from the 90′s, who was notorious for not drawing feet or if he did, it’ll look like tippy-toes!
next is a 10 minute pose. again, i did roughs with a thick pencil. what happened here though (and often does) is that i realized i got the proportions wrong. in this case, her torso was too long. so, when i moved onto the inks, i adjusted on the fly. obviously not the best practice, for quick drawings, it’s been working well for me.
for the contest sketch tonight, the model weighed in and wanted to incorporate Transformers and a rich 80′s famous singer. why? because she switch costumes and is now from Jem and the Holograms! specifically, she was the green haired leader of the Misfits! if you don’t know what i’m talking about, you gotta go find this cartoon classic! and guess what, i won for tonight! sweet deal!
and we finish off the night with two more 10 minute sketches. boy does the night fly by when you’re having fun!
Hey everybody. Wheezy here.
Mr. Johnny has peer pressured me into trying to draw more, something I should be peer pressuring myself to do (is it still called “peer” pressure if it’s yourself?). As such I’ll be joining in on the ongoing Hunger Games theme, bringing a slightly different style as well as capitalization to the Finn Comics world.
*SPOILER* If you haven’t finished reading the first book you should probably bail to another site now.
First up, Miss Katniss Everdeen. I wanted to try and draw the characters in moments that showed elements of their personality, and with Katniss, her goodbye to Rue really stuck in my mind grapes. Hope ya like it!
the next character design for the Hunger Game is President Snow! now, i’ve only finished the first book and just started the second of the trilogy. therefore, my vision for President Snow is quite limited. even so, this is how i picture him. regal, long suit, perhaps a mixture of black, white, and either red or blue. maybe yellow. a thick set of white hair, but with soft eyes. why the soft eyes? well, he’s got to lure you in before he goes all bad on you!
comments are welcome!
i wrapped up the character sketches of HBO’s Game of Thrones last week and this week kicks off a new endeavor! in conjuction with my jamm partner and animator extraordinaire, Wheezy, we’ll be doing character designs for the Hunger Games! i think this is perfect timing as not many images from the upcoming movie has been released yet. thsi will give us more creativity as to what these characters look like in our head.
first up is the main character herself, Katniss Everdeen. now, i haven’t done much in costume design and it’s much harder than it looks. i thought i could just draw some lines and boom, there’d be an awesome outfit. but i found i had to do some research as to what archery gear there is and such. anyways, below are some concepts for Katniss.
saving one of the best for last, i present to you the Khaleesi from HBO’s Game of Thrones, Daenerys Targaryen! i think one of the things i love most from this series is all the fantastic quotes and one liners. for her, “my heart is not gentle.”
done in Copic multiliner 0.1 and 0.5 in my sketch book.
back to the Game of Thrones sketches! i was out of town last weekend, hence the lack of drawings. this week we kick it off with Jorah Mormont! now, i really like this guy but cant tell who’s side he’s on. all i know is that the Khaleesi should feel safe with him around!
this is my second attempt at drawing him, and i’m much happier with this one, although it’s kind of light with only 20 minutes worth of drawing. done in Copic 0.1 multiliner on the face and beard, and 0.5 for the hair and clothing.
watched last night’s new episode of Games of Thrones and Tyrion Lannister is becoming one of my favorite characters on the show. despite his physical challenge, especially in that culture, he’s been able to survive, with humor and style! here’s hoping he survives being a Lannister!
done with Copic multiliner 0.1 and 0.5, with sketch for the solid blacks.
finally got to one of my favorite actresses and part of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Lena Headley. you may know her from the short lived Sarah Conner Chronicles or as the king’s wife in the movie 300. started off with rough pencils, shown below and then the final inks.
