My Friend, Mr. Hyde



It's nearing a nice break for me now, so now work like this will progressively be put together for all of you to see. Personally, dealing simply with character design and discovering the character is what I enjoy the most. So these coming projects will be exciting since they involve more character design than anything.

Here I have an exploration sheet that I put together of Mr. Hyde from a current story project. Yes, yes, there are a lot of head studies...Yet I suppose that is what helps me figure out most of the character first and build from there. Also, I have been incredibly inspired from Nico Marlet's How to Train Your Dragon artbook. His designs always blow my mind!!

Cheers,

Reese & Lily Studies




It's been a bit dusty around here, and once again I apologize. I should promise not to make promises from now on to update regularly. Reverse psychology, ya know?

Anyway, this is not finished/polished work, and soon there will be. There are a few editorial illustrations that I have slowly been collecting, so those may possibly be featured soon. Alas, these are the developments of my thesis characters, Lily, the pastry chef; and our adolescent inventor who is now newly named, Reese. I have many illustration ideas that I've been developing between these two, along with the fanciful 1930's/Steam-punk/Victorian era that they live in. I'm thinking of possibly making them live on this island that has one large mountain that has the entire city carved into it like the Village of Eze. Although, the story is under heavy construction, since it's being remade and torn down day after day. They aren't kidding when they say story is everything!

Speaking of which, I had the pleasure of watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button recently and was completely blown away by the cinematography and heart-touching story. Usually I don't like to advertise, but this certainly is worth the boasting. At least for those who have not or are unsure of seeing it.

Anyway, please give me feedback on the characters. Personally I don't know what to think if Lily should have a braid or a pony tail. What do you guys think??

Until next time,
