Tristan - Character Design

Huge file is huge!

It's more of my favourite multiple, Tristan and Nikodemus.

This is EVERYTHING ELSE (sans maquette) that I had to do for the first half of my Conceptual Illustration class. It was originally on something like 10 different slides, but I put them all together! Hopefully the file is not too enormous?

Head turnarounds, full-body turnarounds, 6 different expressions, and 6 "action" poses, which really just meant poses if your character isn't particularly action-y.

The expressions were the hardest part. As I said, I actually only had to do 6... but, um, apparently I thought it would be fun to double my work? I never realised before how much I depend on facial structure to make different characters have different expressions... until I tried to do the same expression two different ways on two different people who have EXACTLY THE SAME FACE. D: Mad. Hard.

Oh, a note on Nikodemus' face: he does not actually have piercings. In reality, there's no visual difference between Nikodemus and Tristan -- the only way you can tell which one you're talking to is by being particularly observant of his mannerisms. However, Nikodemus has a noticeably different self-image; that's how I draw him because that's how he sees himself. :3

As before, brushes come from this amazing individual: and the font is "Rough Typewriter" from [link]
