Title: Concept sketch for character
Post by: Al_Ninio on Fri 25/06/2004 00:27:32
Right.
So, this is a concept sketch for a character, he's supposed to be the CEO of a company about to go bankrupt.
That's all I have to say about him so far.

Crit me.
Crit me as hard as you can.
But I already noticed the eyes aren't aligned :)

Well, unless he was a very smart guy (and he probably isn't if his company is going bankrupt), he's a little young for a CEO.

Just my opinion.

This is way nice :). He looks verry stressed out.
Not bad for concept art (for acuracy sake though his side on the right shouldn't end under his arm pit - it should be a little further back than that- almosdt half way down that arm) looking forward to the pixel version.

Maybe he inherited the company. :)

Love the sketches gal, eager to see the pixel version too :D.

All I can think of off the top of my head is the tie knot. It looks a bit strange the way it is now. I mean, even if you loosen the tie, the knot usually stays the same (at least that's how my ties behave :)).

I've made a quickie to show you what I think it should look like:

Haven't worn a tie in a year now, so I could remember wrongly. Other than that, I can't see any problems. It's looking good. As far as his age goes, there aren't any set rules (that I know of) stating you need to be of any certain age to be a CEO, so I wouldn't worry too much about that ;)

This looks great! The only crit I have is that the head is to big in proportion to the body...

Really good looking!

viktor, my neck is as wide as my head, and I'm not that big of a man.  The neck looks just fine.

Wow, lots of replies!
ScottDoom: Listen to Ginny. She's a smart girl :)
Mr Frisby: Thank you, that was JUST the thing that annoyed me in the sketch that I couldn't spot.
Kyraal: Thanks for the tie knot quickie, helped me a lot :) I haven't used any reference on the sketch, because I'm stupid :P
Viktor: It's actually quite a normal neck. Might be a bit too short though.

Thank you all :)
