Chapter 52: Visual family Challenge
Aaaaand, this is the project from this module I enjoyed the most. We had to design two characters that were obviously related in some way. Like their silhouette, their color or their visual style. Like the Powerpuff girls. They have the same visual style. But if you are not convinced, what about two from different sagas? What about R2-D2 and the Daleks? They have pretty much the same silhouette and they are really much alike. You could think of them as family.
Well, that’s that. Then we were told to do one representing a warrior, and the other a tank. Easy.
For my project, for some strange reason I can’t comprehend, I wanted to draw something green. Some plants. I needed it. So I started sketching lots of different flora. Some inspired by real ones, some not.
In the end, I started mixing animals with plants and got some weird results. Nevertheless, I got various characters that I really liked. Hard time picking. I ended up choosing to do the Mandragora as the tank, and the mushrooms as the warrior. I would have like to do the fungus too, but it has this “poisonous/suicide bomb” vibe, rather than warrior or tank, so... And the little one with the tree bark mask? He would make a perfect cannon fodder.
SO this was the final result:
I redid the bg like three times because I couldn’t do some grass I was comfortable with. And those leaves at his head drained my soul too. Oof.
