Behind the Scenes - Refining Character Designs




comic


 

As part of the work of developing the next story arc in Art Geek Zoo: The Way of Sound, I've been refining the character designs.

These character silhouettes help me make each character more recognizable and refined. While I'm keeping the essence of all the characters: Pick Wingvey is still a sincere penguin, Crunchy an acerbic green flying V guitar. Improving their "readability" will make it easier to put them in the kinds of situations I have planned for them in the next story arc. Another bonus about playing with the character silhouettes - I'm refining the characters relative sizes to one another.

Recognize anyone? Curious about anyone you don't recognize?
