Whilst this post is not exactly Flash related, I figure that one of the reasons that “I’m just so into” Flash as a medium is because it empowers me by introducing my inner wannabe artist with the overbearing, enthusiastic geek. It has been quite a long time since I’ve put pen to paper with the specific intention of “drawing something cool” (probably not since I came up with the footloosemoose logo) … and ever since I recently flicked through an art mag with an article on character design I’ve been itching to get my hands dirty.
The images that follow are nothing too fancy - just something I came up with over an hour or two whilst watching TV (yes, I do occasionally step away from the computer!). On three of the five drawings I deliberately tried to come up with a new character concept - the other two are just faces of random people that must be in my head… somewhere.
I call this first guy “Stack” and I think he’s exactly the sort of character that would look great in an online game.
Meet “Pot Head” - I think we were watching a cop show and some of the dialog inspired this.
Man 1 - He looks like the artistic type?!
Man 2 - I’m yet to decide if this guy is good or bad…
Ducky - I have no idea how this happened?!
