day 16: turn that around

Thought I would take another stab at getting a decent character turnaround done.  Definitely some parts that need to be tweaked here and there but still light years better than the last turnaround I did.  It’s progress and sometimes it’s excruciating.

Not an old sketchbook drawing revamped.  I wanted to add a macho character to my portfolio since all the male designs I’ve done are fairly on the tweener/villain side.  The character ended up being a mix of Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules and something from Fist of the North Star.  Thinking about it after the fact with my teacher Mark McDonnell, it made sense to think of the story of the character to incorporate as a design motif.

Once I add that secret motif, I think the character will sell better.  You guys will have to tune in later to see what the secret ingredient is.
