#Art #Characters
Working on ITERATION 3 of the character sprites.
I constantly feel like I can never draw the same thing, especially when there's been a lot of time between the same characters. Drawing 'on-model' is one of the more difficult things I had when learning animation. It's more work having to rebuild all the characters however, batching them all together in the here and now will -theoretically- mean I won't struggle trying to remember the brush or if I changed pressure settings--the sorts of things that only I really recognize.
Body language is also something I also want to keep in mind. Last year I made version 2 of some of the sprites, and I wanted to do a handful of various poses that help convey some of their personality and action. I feel like it's worth the effort. It's probably a big ask of the artist... wait, that's me.
Feels like I've put the characters on a bit of a diet between iterations... completely unintentional on my part.
