Some more design work. It’s pretty across the board.
The first image is of Ken. I finally got my ass working on him but he’s still looking a bit feminine, so I’ll be working on making him into more of a man.
The second two are of a relatively new character, Makato. She’s a sporty kind of person and we’ll get into her more later.
The last picture is some work on the school uniform. Trying out blazer and short skirt, we’ll see how it goes.
I like how you designed Makato. The character image does show what you said about the sporty kind. I think maybe adjust her front hairstyle a bit more, but besides that I really have nothing to say (it might be that I dont know the character well).
For Ken/Kentaro, I guess it’s a work in progress. One thing I was once told is that a main character should be recognized by it’s silhouette.
For the blazer uniform, I can’t say much about it since it is a work in progress, but I did recommend some manga to use as reference. I think it’s an improvement, but I think for more “fashionable” sense (not realistic), uniform could be more slim-fit.
Thanks for the input, I look forward to seeing what you say as things solidify more.
I’m glad you’re aware of the silhouette concept.
I wouldn’t worry about Ken/Kentaro still looking a bit too feminine actually since styles progress as you keep on drawing. Also Gantz main character was totally girly boy in the beginning of the series too. Also I think that the main thing that is making Kentaro way too girly is the eyes and probably the lips. Also make the facial features less softer I guess. Overall I think the character designs are going well.
By the I’m Natsumi, we met a week ago just so we don’t have later confusions on who the hell I am.
