Hi everyone. I've began working on some artwork for a mechanic that I eventually plan to model. The idea here is he is going to be taking a smoke break from wrenching on his hot rod, which I am in the process of designing right now. This would be the pose of the character. My big plan for all of this is to have a garage scene complete with a car and character + props for my demo reel. Any comments and critiques would be great, before I dive too much further into this project.

I modified the original sketch quite a bit with a tablet, and then gave it some colour.

Cheers
Mike

I think he's looking quite good! I don't know how important it is seeing as you're gonna model him, but maybe his hands could do with a little tuning, and his expression. It's good that he looks relaxed on his break, but maybe he looks a bit too dazed...

Keep it up!!!

Thanks. Hand's definitely need some work, and now that you mention it, he is a bit zombie like.

Hey, thanks Randy. I've kind of scrapped this idea for a while. I'm going to be doing an environment/props reel so I won't be building this character. However I'm still going to do the garage and hot rod.

He's a pretty neat character, i think the anatomy in the legs could use some work as they look short and stubby and one of the big problems i see is the leg on the left of the image looks like it's not connected to his hip, it should connect higher i think to his body. The area where the head connects to the neck is bothering me a bit, cause it looks like his head was sort of stuck on to the top of his neck. I like the grubby sense given and the colours are good. Keep it up

Nice colour work I like the grime on the overalls, but I think he should have some dirt and grime on his boots. He looks like he's been hard at work and then decided to put on a new pair of boots.
