I just decided to start a personal project lol.. I have to thank KORYH for this once again ( NO im not his stalker)
His whole Idea process of retroactive made me want to do this project. To tell you the Truth. I have no clue where this project is going and i have no clue what the project is yet lol. I start by posting a simple sketch. And ill go from there..

Some people say this mysterious sketch looks like the Road to eldorado dude in a batman suit ( PURE coincidence).. but hopefully when im done cleaning it up and actually started to think of his use in this project it wont look like that anymore..

That bad eh? lol nah just joking... I was all worked up because I felt like doing somekind of project lol.. soo i just posted that sketch hehe.. Dont worry ... more to come.. That sketch is just an early concept.. Will Change as things move on... I Just filled up 5 pages in myh sketch book of concepts.. Mostly Scribbles.. but i think i found the style of the Head for this character... Should be a little different in the end.. Anyways Ill try to post something better tomorow. Depending if i job hunting goes as plan. Talk to you peeps later

Hey Great Start!
Sketchbooks are a great way to show off your thought process and sharpen your skills.

Who ever is still interested =p. I havent given up. Ive been working on a plasticine (sp?) model of this head. I have encountered a Little problem. When i wanted to Draw this character In a Different Angle ( 3/4 view) I was not able to consindering the shape of the head and how narrow and thin it is. Soo trying to rotate it was trouble some. i had 3 options at this point :

1. Give Up this character
2. Get a 3d program and model it
3. Whip the good old plasticine or modelling clay out and just do it the old fashion way.

Since i like this character, Giving up was a NONO. And Well Option number 2 was out of question because I dont have any 3d modelling program ( Damn i should really learn 3d) and even if i did have one i wouldnt know how to use it =). So I started modelling the character the good old way. Was very fun to do .. to tell you the truth its kinda freaky to see it in 3d =|.

UNfortunatly, I probably wont post this 3d head model online ( MAYBE). But For now my goal is draw different expressions and different angles of this character. ONce i am satisfied. I will move on to the body and poses.. after that we'll see where this goes.

futur plans for this secret project =) include:

-Other Character designs
-object designs
-backgrounds/layouts
-other stuff =)

hope this works out ..

Actually i decided to take some pictures of the model.. I slightly changed the character.. i like him better in the model. ( if you look on the side view his head is wider ... Other than that hes pretty much the same...
