Style Experimentation (Sketch Dump)

I found the style used for Sparrow's head shots the easiest to reproduce and experimented around with characters for practice

 

 

Rather than dive straight into designing I worked mostly on fan art so I could focus more on getting the style right until I was comfortable

 

Sakura & Naruto (c) Masashi Kishimoto

 



(WIP)
Character inspired by SEGA's Knuckles the Echidna
 

I also began practicing with colours and focusing more or colour theory rather than what I wanted



(WIP)
Graces F (c) Namco Bandai/ Howl (c) Ghibli cross over

I tried to ease myself into including more detailed backgrounds so I could practice with lighting and scenes  



(WIP)
Character Head Shot
Juris Iden - Standby phase

The Tales games usually have animated sprites or stills of various expressions to go with skits as well as during battle phases with a standby, damage and attack sprite 
 

Commission piece - Rai
Another chance to experiment with style without worrying too much about design
A simple background/ light/ effects practice



Link (c) Legend of Zelda Nintendo
Next to Tales games and character designs Zelda and Link are my favourite gaming franchise/characters

I tried to push myself with this one and attempted perhaps a more adventurous background/ effects/lighting
