2 Faces (Sketchpad Confessional)

I've been wanting to simplify my "superhero/real people" art style for a while now. I'm really into the idea of being economic with my line use, especially with finished, inked illustrations.

Looking through some old sketches I've landed on some keys. These two faces show a couple if things I can implement: The first one (the elf chick) has simplified hair; basically it's one shape rather than a bunch if lines. The second face has simplified eyes, with the bottom lid non-existent, making for fewer lines still.

Branch-Face

P538

A space-fairing botanist whose ship was caught in a radiation storm just as he performing an experiment with bonsai in his lab. The resulting power surge caused the branch he was trimming to take root in his forehead, forever changing him into the hero known as Branch-Face. Friend of Spaceboy Ed.

Spaceboy Ed 2

P528

This is just a doodle but I'm pretty sure I like this version better. And I actually had an idea the other day for how to use this character.

What's she thinking? (random sketch)

P503

This sketch isn't based on anyone in particular; just a random sketch of a girl. But it dies pose a question I'm sure every guy has asked about some girl at some point.

This one's been kicking around for a while now. Drew it several months ago, even shot it with my iPhone for quick and easy posting, but never got around to it till now.

#30characters - Day 29 - Tiny Monster

P493

Slight cheat, as this is an idea I've had for a while. I don't have a name for these critters yet, but they're another kind of monster for my webcomic, Doodze. I'd tell you more, but it would contain spoilers; can't explain what these are without giving too much away.

28 - Mr. Muko

P486

Another fancy-suit-wearing alien mobster, this time of the big and hairy variety. I like this one better than Zarnix, I think. There aren't enough harry, fat aliens, if you ask me. Maybe this guy will be Zarnox's boss... Or rival... Or both?

27 - The Martinet

P479

Another villain for Insomniac. Like Chaos, this is another complete re-imagining of an old character, basing the new design mostly on the name alone. Martinet means "a strict disciplinarian" and is especially used in reference to the military, so this Martinet has a military background (hence the uniform) whereas the original was basically just Lady Deathstrike from X-Men, but with a whip that came out of her cyborg hand. I did keep the cyborg hand this time but that's about it.

26 - Generic Good Guy Doodze Soldier

P475

I figured the good guys needed a generic soldier uniform too. The masks will be a big help in creating battle scenes. I can totally see why old cartoons like GI Joe had loads of genetic looking soldiers...

25 - Generic Bad Guy Doodze

P463

I figured there needs to be some nameless, faceless minions on the bad guy side...
