I forgot to post these

More finished ones.

If there's time, I'll be changing aspects of some of these (Most likely the Horror ones). There's bits I'm not too happy with in them, but overall I think it'll do.

Also, the Western Fantasy Assassin is meant to have really long legs, but the pose makes it look like a mistake. It's a shame, because I think this particular pose suits her better than standing ones that show off the legs better. I'll just have to explain it in the book to make sure my intentions are clear.

Another one down

Range 1920s.

I've been using Blurb and trying to get everything compiled for a book. I think this software was made by someone who despises the world. It's sinfully painful to get it working at times.

I've stopped thinking about how much time is left. I really am too nervous to consider it. I'm just trawling through and hoping I get enough done. It's not worth the terror of counting the days.

Eastern Fantasies

I began the new group last week. I got off to a slow start, mainly because of the research. I don't know a lot about Japan and I wanted to make sure it was fairly accurate aesthetically and historically. There are some sites that have a lot of good info - though some were a bit hard to find - so I've been trying to catch up now. So far, I've done Civilian, Range and Support, and I't part way through the Assassin. The colour scheme (If you couldn't tell) is black, white, red, yellow and a bit of pink.

Horror Batch

I'm having a great time with these characters, I really am. I'm a sucker for horror, so getting to do this team now has been a bit of a pick-me-up.

Time's running out so I'm not spending as long on these design sheets. I'm aiming for 1.5 - 2 finished per day. That way, I get plenty of time to do my finished pieces. This means cutting it down to 1 coloured picture, several finished linearts and maybe a shaded one if it seems to need it. I'm trying to get some essential poses and things down so there's a decent reference there rather than a set of useless images.

Anyway, here are the Civilian, Range, Support and Tank!

EDIT: Looking back, they seem a little bare. I might add more pictures, especially on the Civilian and Support.

Characters

I finished the Western Fantasies and I moved onto Horror. It's a lot harder than I thought. I did the Soldier, and now I'm on the Tank. I can't think of many (Or any) poses for it as it's just a big lumbering... thing. Also, I want to have detail on it that'll take forever to draw. I'm not going to go all out at this stage because it's too much, and hopefully it won't drag me down too much on the final image.

Looking at the WFantasies again, I think the Tank needs to be bigger. The problem is that I was relying on her summons to be the 'bigness' of her, but when they're not with her, she looks very small. I'm thinking more armour will help. Maybe I should make her something other than human, then add some extra details to make her seem a little more punchy.

I need to find the time to fix up both of those Soldiers too. Panic is really beginning to set in now.

Applied!

Application is sent away. I'm not going to check over anything because it's too late to see if it's okay, and if there are any stupid mistakes I'm just going to feel awful about it.

I'm terrified.

Here's the revised Range picture. I think it looks a lot better now. The background makes more sense. It's  a shame to discard the old one, so maybe I can use it for a different picture!

Western Fantasy Range

Hoping to use this in my portfolio.

1920s Range

Ugh, I kept churning out failure after failure with this guy. The art was pretty awful, the content was rubbish and it just didn't look like what I'd imagined. I'm not going to post most of the things I drew of him because they're really bad, but here's a couple of things that turned out okay-ish.

My favourite is the uncoloured one where he's lighting the molotov. I think the face looks most like what I had in mind. Rhoda suggested a posher waistcoat for him, and I think it looks more fitting than the wooly one. Very snazzy!
The gun isn't any in particular, though it's most like M1903 Springfield rifle. I spent ages trying to find a bolt-action rifle that can be disassembled, but I didn't have any luck. I think it really has to be suited for quick dismantling, and bolt action thingers look really cool so I want to keep that in.
Anyway, I did a stylised picture of him that I was hoping to match with the Assassin. Something about it isn't quite fitting - I think partly because the makeup adds better detail and the Range obviously doesn't have any - but I think it's alright for getting a feel for the style. I think I should've done thicker lines in places, but.
Ehhh.
