Hi, this is just a really early small thumbnail of my concept which will be Hannibal crossing the Alps. Intially I see Hannibal's army as very Prussian in appearance.

I wanted to start off with roughs that were a little more advanced in the design process but part of the fun is to see everything so here it is.

Just starting to visualize Hannibal.

Hi!
I love your character design ;-)
very nice

[xtremepenguin]

That's a great character design, the style reminds me of 'the Gentlemens Duel' by Blur Studio.

I cant wait to see more.

[Olie]

Thanks for the comments, I'm now thinking Hannibal and his army more Napoleanic then Prussian.

[Womball]

I love the designs as well. Can't wait to see what the elephants look like. Thumbnail is great too, I will have to try sketching in blue pencil sometime.

[Smash.rs]

Neat style!
Makes me want to see it animated.

[rahulmehta]

best wishes for the challenge ..!

Another take on Hannibal, with his little breathing apparatus for the high altitude elevations.

[Aseph]

Character concepts look awesome very stylized keep up the great work!

[xtremepenguin]

Another great concept! Im not too sure about the breathing apparatus though, looks a bit too weird around the mouth.

[walrus]

Great character concepts! I do agree with xtremepenguin about the mouth: specifically, the curves of the upper lip make him look like he has a cat-snout for a mouth. But aside from that, things are looking great. Looking forward to seeing where you go with these!

[Olie]

LOL, I didn't see that at all but now that you point it out it's all I can see. :)

[TheSoracle]

wow, your sketches are wicked. to be honest, i much prefer the captain/hannibal in the second post then the small pudgy faced one. :)

A few more studies of Hannibal.

[mrpeace]

I really love those designs...keep it up.

[RandyToons]

Great work Olie. I was wondering if you had a Bio posted somewhere? Just wondering how and where you received your training or if you were self taught. I alway have an interest in Artists that show great skill.
Thanks, Randy

[Olie]

Thanks, the only bio I have is on my website, I've been meaning to get up an running here but I procrastinate a bit to much. :)

I'm self taught, always love to draw, I went to university for design but my first love is illustration.

[Kirt]

Very solid and likable character designs Olie. The top center and bottom center ones are top notch. The other two are good as well I suppose ... I'm just drawn to the other two more. :D

[waffles]

Great designs! You have an incredible style. I love the top center design on your last studies post.

[balasa]

vary cool headshots there. i especially like the one on top

[Snowstorm]

I like how the faces have so much character. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the designs. Good luck with your challenge piece :)

First attempt at the Elephant/Armour.

I thought I try another style/technique inspired by balloontree to explore a few ideas I had.
