WIP: Character Design Final Project

Hey all!
Here's my work-in-progress Character Design final project. We had to choose a "fable" and put it into a different world. Some people are doing Hansel and Gretel in the Stone Age. Some are doing Frankenstein in the Medieval times. I asked if I could do something different, so I'm doing Steampunk Power Rangers.

I'll be doing three characters. Of the six Power Rangers I chose Tommy the Green Ranger and Kimberly the Pink Ranger. I figured that I'll be able to get the most character out of their interaction, since they're in love and all.

So far I've been focusing mostly on the two Power Rangers, feeling out that line where they're recognizable as Power Rangers but still very much steam punk.

A final note: these pictures represent me feeling out the idea, fleshing out the concept. That's why nobody is on model and why each drawing is different. It's kind of my thought process.






Finally here's a teaser for my third character:



Let me know what you think!

This isn't animated... I know, I'm shameless.

Admittedly this has NO ANIMATION in it whatsoever, BUT the video distortion effect was filmed off of one of the monitors in COM 118 back when I was a senior and there were crummy VCRs hooked up to them. I aimed a video camera at the TV screen while I messed with the BNC cables. I hope that satisfies anyone who might think I'm a total jerk for posting a video I threw together without ever touching pencil to paper... :D



I love all of you. I really don't see you guys enough anymore. 8{{

Oh and to Marni, there is a couple references to classical literature/mythology in this. Can you find them?!?!

Character Design Midterm

Hey chaps,
Here's my midterm work for Character Design class. I'm re-taking the class because it was so awesome, and I decided to re-work the characters I had for LAST term's assignment. Those can be seen here:
