    Default Re: Our Comic Lab in the Playground: An experimentation class

    This is a little concept/pre-plan for Viola, a character in an upcoming fancomic. I intended her to be a young child - probably around 11 or so - with a bit of a bleaker outlook on life due to circumstances. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the "child" part, so I'm looking for ideas on how I could make the character, well, seem a bit less mature and more innocent, without making her too much so (little edits, adjustments in proportions, etc. I'm okay with going off of OotS style a little).



    There's also something that I dislike about the hair. I wanted to make a child-friendly hairstyle without relying on pigtails or side ponytails, although the result ended up looking a bit strange. I'm trying a few ways to fix it without changing hairstyles entirely at the moment, though I'm not getting very good results.

    EDIT: Concept Art of Viola. As you can see, the avatar looks really off, and that's been bugging me for quite a while - not really sure how to fix the problem.

    To make a child, scale the body down about 2/3, but leave the head the same size. Following that, group the whole thing (head included) and scale it down once more (look at Haley in This Comic)

    As for hairstyles, maybe go for braids?

    1) Yes, there will be. But don't expect it anytime soon, say, for at least a year.
    2) Not really, i'm debating between several other characters from elseware in the series, like Dark Samus and Armstrong Houston, all I know is that Samus won't be the main character. I'll probably just do what I do with WTwU's plot and add characters on a basis of necessity.
    3) *looks for it* Ah there it is. Yes, looks pretty good. I kinda liked the way the goombas looked before but their crab-walking ingame definitely leaves little room for realism. The koopas still look awkward, I recommend increasing the curvature on their beaks/snouts/mouths/whatever.

    Other than that looking good.

    Thanks for the feedback, Methos and Herpeste ^^.

    The character was supposed to be more of an in-between of a child and an adult; I wanted her to look a bit younger than an average adult, although taller and older than child Haley. The hair, though, I scrapped and basically redid from scratch, resulting in the following:



    Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated ^^.

    Shouldn't she have arms?

    I think that the charter would look More like a child if it had bigger eyes (cartoon children have big eyes for this very reason) but that's just my opinion.

    Good enough, because I have some homebrew feats and such I want to run by someone, else everyone starts calling my characters munchkins.

    Thanks for the reply, Kev ^^.

    The reason that she doesn't have arms is because it's a template; I'll add arms when I arrange the character into the comic. About the eyes, though - I actually tried giving her bigger eyes before, but it looked admittedly a bit creepy, so I ended up keeping the smaller eyes.

    Makes sense.
    Strangely I can't see why that would look creepy, but it hardly matters, it's good both ways

    I needed the female body template for the beginning of the first chapter. Also could get handy for later on.

    Alright, I'm going to work on the first page of the comic now. The page lay-out is going to be like an average graphic novel, though, so I'll see how that turns out.

    Thanks for all the help guys!
