Description New Characters alert!

it's been awhile eh? well these three have been a long time in the making! ~celluloid-dreamer and myself are working on a little story, the guy is the main character the girls are just there to keep him in line / get on his nerves.

The guy the brain child of Zack and myself, how is this you may wonder WELL long story short, I had this design floating around for awhile of a dude who wears only white and has short, short hair, but a design for an OC is not enough! he was an empty shell and needed a personality. thats where Zack came in. floating around in his head was a personality with no body to go with, Naturally we combined the two and it started a snow ball effect of what to do with him!

his name is Lyle Bridge and Lyle is a Cannibal. He does not eat any meat that comes from pigs, cows, chickens or anything with a face- except for his fellow man. he doesn't see himself as a serial killer (though by definition thats what he is) because he just sees it as hunting for dinner, much like hunters going after deer. aside from that he's a bit of a neat freak to the point that most of his wardrobe consists of white (easier to spot dirt that way) and goes the extra mile to dye his hair white as well. He lives a pretty normal life aside from the whole, killing people thing. he works at a grocery store and lives in the projects with his best friend Samuel ( more on him later) he's Asexual... he's HAD sex before, he just does not understand the general populations obsession with it.

The short girl to Lyle's right is his older sister Raquel, she doesn't agree with what he does and gives him constant hell for it. the only reason she does not turn him into the police is because their mother made her promise on her death bed to always stick by her brother no matter what. on top of being totally into the 80's, Raquel works in a hair salon and just so happens to be the best hair stylist in their neighborhood followed closely by-

Trisha, Raquel's best friend / salon assistant / arch rival... she also has problems with Lyle's... diet but she ain't no snitch. when shes not working at the Salon or with Raquel she teaches Ballet to inner city kids.

More on them ( Mostly on Lyle) as it comes!

Oh wow what interesting character designs and stories! I have always loved your unique story lines for you characters, although Lyle's story is pretty scary!
lol

I like all of their designs a lot. Lyle is really cool looking. I like the idea of being dark skinned but wearing light colors that clash oddly. I think he is the only person I have seen that looks good with white hair and clothes!

Raquel's design is very pretty. I am very fond of her hair and outfit. 80's seemed like a badass time to be alive. I could see myself dressing awesome like that back then too!

Trisha looks wonderful too! I am very fond of her style too. I like how you draw larger woman. Her hair and skirt over pants look is awesome!

Great designs and stories! I hope to see more of these guys soon! (sorry for the late comments too)

his concept is not SO unique! he's essentially an inverted Goth. you see TONS of white kids wearing lots of black...so why not black guy in bunch of white?

I LOVED the 80's I only wish I was conscious for more of it!

she came out rather awkward in THIS picture but I plan to redeem myself in an upcoming picture of her!

That is true.. I am just not used to see it I guess!

I completely missed that era. Although I got the 90's and they where pretty awesome too!

Great! I am looking forward to seeing it!

I really love the idea behind this. Great work to Zack for filling out Lyle’s personality, he sounds fascinating! His background is wonderfully dark and it would be really interesting to see how it develops over a story

Lyle’s design is beautiful too, I love the pure-white look, and his neat-freak-ness! It’s also nice to see another asexual OC! I love how much Raquel really looks like his sister, their similar faces etc. She looks adorable and that outfit is gorgeous

I really love Trisha’s sense of fashion and I love that she teaches ballet to kids too. They all sound like they have a lot of potential! I can’t wait to see more of them

I love Lyle's design, I've never seen anything like it and he, overall, is super unique. I'm really digging the way you did his upper body. And the girls are beautiful; I'm loving both of their designs and Trisha's hair is super cute!

fascinating! Lyle must be very good at what he does if he is a black dude with white hair and white clothes and he can regularly kill people and get away with it.

since when has appearance ever had anything to do with how likely someone is to get caught?

and who commits crimes in their street clothes?

I wasn't trying to start an argument. Forget it. My real point was that this looks like a great idea for a comic with a lot of story possibilities. I hope you guys pursue it.

sorry if I came off a little defensive.

I guess my real point is appearances aren't everything. a beanie and a black sweatsuit can turn ANYONE into a serial killer / creeper.

and if he was really good at what he does (and he is) he would leave no one to identify him so what he looks like doesn't matter.

This is really well done! I love how distinct your characters are; no two ever run together or have the same features; every character has their own unique look. This is excellent! I love their designs, especially Lyle's. I find it interesting he won't eat any meat, unless it came from his own kind. Excellent composition overall! Looking forward to seeing more of these three.

They look like three very different very distinct characters, from their outfits to their shapes to... well everything! Nonetheless, each of them look very nicely drawn here, so well done on all three of em pal! Keep em coming!

Be super careful with your foot structure, you have been making people really flat footed or NO footed lately. Trisha's foot in particular is really bad, and her bottom half looks like it has no structure at all. The folds in her skirt also have no eye level/conflict with the eye level in your drawing.

However, I AM really happy with your line quality. Slowing down or taking your time is REALLY showing when you go out on detail like with Lyle's pants I really enjoy the the colour contrasts between all of them, and I've already told you I love the idea of these characters! Raquel is really appealing to me for some reason, especially her adorable anatomy. Can't wait to see more of these peeps! I think its so cute you two were able to work together

That's quite interesting, especially Lyle's background story. I like his design and his white clothing and hair. Very cool design on all of them.
