this is a concept I am working on for a animated shot I making with a friend of mine... the story was about a world of matchs and lighters...but I think we are going to change the matchs to water people....:) :surprised

It is a wip..
Critiques...Suggestions.......?
thanks

there's something odd about the way the neck connects to the head, it looks like the chin is the neck, despite the line marking between them. also, the hand, specificallky the fingers, seem crooked, or bent wrong, like that pinky.

the finished lines in the face are lovely, but the body is so sketchy that i'll refrain from critique.

and, this may just be personal preference, but that guy needs a bigger gun xD

it looks like its going to be a neat character, be sure to post the finished product, k?

well, typically speaking, when someone wants to fix something, they erase the problem and redraw it in a different way *_* like, for example, you could have the line for the neck start a little back from the chin, like so:


(_ <--chin
-->!
neck

then, if the neck is too thin, you could add a lil more muscle on the back of it. thats perfectly acceptable, as he is a rather buff guy, and buff guys have buff necks.

and, um, why'd you color it without finishing the drawing part? the lines on the body are all wrong now, uncertain and kind of, well, misplaced :surprised

when you said you were working on it with your friend, did you mean he drew it?

I like the head, but the body is a little , er, generic ? How about continuing what you started on the head, if you were not going to do that anyway?

I think when you finish it it will all look really cool.:)

that is one of the finest character heads i've ever seen...

the body does look plain, but (trying to picture it in 3D) i think it'll suit the character design very well.

are there any plans to give him fuel tanks? like maybe gigantic generic orange zippos strapped to his back?

Have you thought about maybe continuing the cyborg theme that you have on his head throughout his body?

Like maybe make his body more robotic? With exhaust flames and such?

It's just a thought, you could also attatch his head to a spider body of sorts, with exhaust pipes, and maybe flame throwers where the leg joints protrude out?

It's just some thoughts, I really like the head design, though I agree, the neck is quite off.
