Another SONG Concept design.

This one is some sort of Holyman/ Shaman. I'm worried about this trend towards only creating characters that represent either Religion or War... Maybe its in the air....

peace.

This is an unfinish character from the Song Series. I'm considering Pairing him with the other Warrior, for some kind of "Buddy Cop" narrative.

Song_Geisha

Hey All,

I'm back right now Im working out another Character design for Song. This one is what I'm calling "Geisha" or maybe Fan Dance, I'm not sure yet. However, the design itself is an anthropomorphized fan (say that five times fast). This character is pretty much a bold challenge to the rules of design I'm creating for the Song series. A simple character with almost NO defining characteristics other than a general idea of a human presence. This is fairly abstract and cold though I think it will work in terms of creating multiples in a single shot. Check back to see what develops.

Photo retouch- After

This is after faking depth of field and doing some operations to pull and enhance the contrast. So from a modest point and shoot camera I can get a rather nice image.

Enjoy.

Gypsy Princess

Hey all,

Back to creating characters for SONG. This one is one of the truly essential characters to any narrative, the Princess. I'm imagining that she will require a bit more ornamentation, but this simple design my just be a bit more evocative. All in all this is still process work not final yet.

Feel free to comment
