Another long awaited update

Turns out art style is not really "Tim Buron"-esque but more realistic than that but just with exaggerated proportions.

I think the limitations of my drawing skills are starting to really show thru. The style is supposed to be more realistic buy my concepts are still cartoony. Oh well.

Here are my new attempts:


This one takes into account some suggestions from classmates like the glasses & shorter legs. I thought the buckle should be a little bigger.

In this next one, I tried to go for more exaggeration with the clothes proportions, making the buckle super huge, huge pockets & buttons, a different style for the sleeves, red stockings & forearms. Maybe he can keep his money in those huge pockets. Maybe I should have coins falling out of them. His expression makes him look a little snobbish, which I think is right for his character as a merchant from Holland. Oh, the collar is a differnt style too. The other style made him look like clergy too much for me. For some reason, the shape of the hat makes him look like a fireman to me ... for some reason. Good thing it's not a red hat.

We're supposed to be modelling this week & I haven't even gotten mine approved yet. So many other classmates already have their sketches approved.




Other developments: meetings moved.

I can't attend the breeze live sessions any more b/c they've been moved to 6pm PST which is 3pm HST for me & I'm at work in the afternoons. I can reschedule my work hours but my current schedule allows me to do homework in the day time & get a lot of stuff done. I wish I didn't have to work but I gotta pay the bills ya know.
