So the next step is picking the colours.  It can be tricky, you want to make sure that the colours you pick will reflect the character that your building.  It’s also at this point that I’ll be making small adjustments to make sure that the final pic comes out as it should.  So how about these colours?  Any opinons?

I’m actually really liking this design.  I might draw more of her if the commissioner is cool with it.  I think I might call her Jersey.

Last time on the 2 4 1 commission progress report, I showed the selection of poses that I had for the commissioner.  They had picked the one above, which meant it was now job to do a larger rough picture of said pose.  At this point I’ll put in the specifics like face, hair accessories and such.  Anything can still change, but with these details going in, I can start to take the character in a specific direction.  And as of this morning, I got approval that my direction was fine (save a few minor details) and so I’m ready to show it to you fine people.

So remember that two for one commission call out I did a while back?  Well, I’ve finally got a moment to start it up.  I also got back in touch with the commissioner (who wishes to remain unnamed) and they said it was totally cool to post the progress of the commission.  This way everyone can have a first hand look as to how a commission works when you get one from me.  Now, the first commission was to be a demon type girl.  I’m totally free to make up the species, look and so forth… which is very cool in my books.  So the first thing I do is provide the commissioner with a bunch of rough poses to pick from.  You can see them above.  Once they get back to me I’ll start doing up a larger rough.  Would you like to see which one they picked?  Click to find out.

So remember that Jeanette rough pic I posted a few days ago?  We I also found this Jeanette pic.  It was uncoloured but and been totally cleaned up.  I figured that it must be a sign that this was the pic I was to do.  I painted it up and made it messy, just how I like it.  Sort of… When I make my messy, sloppy pics I’m usually like “Yeah! She’s totally messy!  Lots of spooge!” But then after, I feel like… “yeah… she’s pretty messy… I guess”.  And I feel like I could have gone further.  So, now I’m looking to hear what others think.  Did I go messy enough… or could I have done better?  (messy version past the link) Continue reading

Seeing as how we where talking about the Chipmunks/Chipettes a few days ago and I also mentioned posting rough pics I guess this is  pretty good time to post this.  I actually just found it today when I was going though some old PSD’s.  It’s from 2008 according to the date on it.  It seems that I drew her more true to the cartoon in this one.  Opinions and thoughts on that are welcome.
