Description
~SageHazzard asked me to help out with a comic hes starting, and do some concept art for a character of his called sledgeSLEDGE
Age: 21-25
Height: 6 foot 3
Body Type: Lean but Fit
Hair: Black, messy, longish (uneven, but some strands over the eyes)
Clothes:
Pinstripe suit, black, buttoned up usually, black dress shirt, buttoned all the way, nice and neat, black pants, red tie. Now, the boots... I want him to have "powerful" boots but his pants are over them. It's hard to describe how they look because it's fuzzy in my mind. Those kind of boots where there's the area the foot's in, then where the bottom of the foot would be, but then there seems to be another 2-3 inches of shoe on the bottom. Also, they'd probably have steel on the inside of the toe. These are skull crushing boots. Sadly, they'd only be seen from below the ankle. He also wears brown work gloves. Just plain looking gloves that are the kind a constuction worker might wear.
TFP (ten foot pole):
This is a massibe ten foot staff with a ball shaped thing on the end. So it'd come to about 12-13 feet. The ball is metal as well as the staff, but they aren't from the same mold. In other words you can see where the ball's part ends and the staff beginds but if sillouted it looks otherwise... hope I didn't over explain that.... Anyway, it has spikes on it. You can have some fun with the spikes, they don't have to be exactly uniform. Sledge holds the staff differently but the "grip" part of it is at the very end of the staff. Now, with an ordinary human they'd have problems swinging such a long weapon by holding it at the end, but Sledge is super strong. It fits into his suit jacket. There's a holster area that's built into the lining of the coat where the staff goes into. The ball part of the TFP would be up, above Sledge's head. The staff goes through the holster and out the bottom of the coat. He's usually just carrying the TFP but he does where it in the holster at times.
Pose/Etc.:
You can draw him swinging the TFP or whatever, it doesn't matter to me. In fact, I'd love to see one where Sledge is not swinging it and one where he's going all out with it. Maybe he could be hitting multiple people with it. See, since it's so long and he's so strong, it has a way of "catching" multiple people in it's swing, so it's great for brawls. But that's up to you if you feel like it.
But, for now just draw him holding it in a cool pose or something. Since it's so long in relation to him, it might be hard, so let me know the limitations on that.
Oh, and could you maybe also sketch a picture of just his face and have him wear a hat? A black dress hat with a red hat band. I'm toying with him wearing a hat sometimes. Just sketch it loosely so I get the visual picture. You can e-mail that one to me, since you might not want to put up a sketch on your gallery.
------------------------
if you want more, man, just ask. i think ill give that cover art a try next unless youd want more concepts
id just like to stress this was all done with me wacom tablet

thanks for the 'great' crit actually .. you're like the only person whos picked that up. or at least whose told me. ive known about that constant angle for awhile actually. hahaha its become an addiction to draw them with their heads bowed like that i guess, cos i just love the way it suggests such animalistic behaviour, or at least humbling onse humanity to more... demonic preference if you know what i mean. but yeah, thanks for that man
- im really happy you said that, ill definitely work with other angles and concepts
- i think this gave me the foot hold i needed to get out of that, its just bin working really well with the wallpapers and characters ive been doing so far i guess

b33lz3bub In reply to muetze [2004-03-08 15:08:48 +0000 UTC]
see - normally id agree with you on the weapon, but under the characer profile, its actually meant to look like it'd be unbalanced and wrong, but due to his immense physical prowess, its easy for this d00d to hold
there's yer answer hehehe thought id butt in lol
thanks for the great comment tho man

yepp.. long descriptions can be the killer
nah, id rather not start working on another project until we've at least finished the conceptual phase of DotA.. but it surely sounds like a fun thing.. (with characters as the one you presented ).. so maybe ill have a look at it laters..
and sure, as soon as im home ill patch something together for you.. do you prefer one of the cypher breeds or a human character?

....I have to agree with saltandpepper on what they said "you make drawing with detail look effortless!"....btw I saw this and thought "Vampire Hunter D" but actually it's nothing like it so I really have no idea why it reminds me of the show....that's a good thing btw....great great work. The emotion and the contrast and what have you is very.....overwhelming...which is good....
