Duke and the randoms...





Good day to all! Here are some random images I was sketching in my sketchbook this week. Everyone is pretty much a new character EXCEPT for the old pompous bugger on the right. He was actually apart of a series of highly caricatured characters called Royal Chauffeurs. I redrew him just for giggles and liked how he turned out. The picture below is the version I drew of him around this time last year. His cheeks are not that puffed out anymore but I LOVE the shape of his head and his long nose. I'm thinking I might revisit other past characters and see what I can come up with...anyways tell next time.

LIVE: From Alaia's Sketchbook





OKAY! So it's been a while since I posted and I decided to start out with three works...
The first are new characters I've been thinking up for a couple of week now, it's called SIRENS. These two characters are still a bit rough but there overall all look is already finished.
Moving on... We have Hopkins (which some have seen before) only this time he's colored. I actually did this all loooooonnng time ago when I first sketched him out. I painted him in painter 9, using the watercolor tool. Even though it's not finish I still like where I was headed....
And LAST is the one and only Willow. The last concept I've did of her was the Viva la Vida painting. I've kept her costume but changed her look...and YES this is her final look! (applause). It just took me five years to get it....BUT I'm still working on her skin tone and hair. Sooo her concept is done...just not her color scheme...Kapeesh?!
