I ...I like the shared "template" design. I also think that the "edgy, push-the-envelope" thing (i.e. Ren and Stimpy or any Seth McFarland show) has already been done to death. I'd say keep em fresh, fun, and more innocent. fwiw<br />r/eJay Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482261288019583877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726987320148027574.post-3016406874155143942010-12-17T17:12:16.611+00:002010-12-17T17:12:16.611+00:00Hi Shane.

I'm very much liking the first set of characters you did , but getting to the sharp pointy sticks of decisioness stage I'd go for the vampire from the second lot , wolfie from the first lot (I like the werewolf in b/w better than in colour in the second lot but I still think the wolfman from set 1 is my favourite) and also Maxwell from the first lot, but I like the second creatures eyes, arrghh. . As for Sox I really can't make my mind up which version I prefer.<br />Hope this helps<br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726987320148027574.post-70953963141372007212010-12-16T23:07:30.444+00:002010-12-16T23:07:30.444+00:00Wow you got so much useful critique at the assessm...Wow you got so much useful critique at the assessment - no wonder you came out feeling positive. They hardly looked at my drawings, all they talked about was my research and how much I was fulfilling the criteria.<br /><br />If I'm honest my personal preference is the alternative sketches not coloured (with the purple background). They have a kind of manic energy like Quentin Blake. Although the coloured original designs would work better as card cut-outs, character designs or models, the scribbly drawings would work better in a book, cartoon strips or short narratives.<br /><br />Another favourite is the 'drummer wanted' sketch which I don't think needs to be coloured to have an impact. You could put that in a book as it is. <br /><br />Seems a bit far-fetched but you could always use both styles. You know like bands sometimes have cartoon versions of themselves on all the marketing material... well perhaps the original drawings could be what they really look like and the alternative drawings could be how they present on posters........? If that makes sense. <br /><br />Also do you really need a story or would just a collection of cartoons and character shots suffice - a bit like a tour diary or scrapbook??<br /><br />Hope that's useful...<br /><br />HeatherThe Creative Twinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719766865955442355noreply@blogger.com
