Gang Final Pieces

Gang Members Updated

Here are the final designs for my gang members that occupy the lower city. 

WIP Library Scene- Lower City

Excelsior Gang Pose 1

Here is the outline for a pose for the final gang design. 

And below is a coloured in version, there is still a lot of work to be done here, like the lines cleaned up and more weight added to them and the shading finished off. 

Excelsior Further Gang Designs

I combined all of the four gangs I had previously drawn out and created two new gangs. 

I used some inspiration from the Grinch with the curly boots on the first designs, and the stripes are inspired from Tim Burton character designs. I also looked at Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr Seuss and they heavily influenced the first design sheet. I also looked at the minions from Despicable Me and used the goggles design for the second sheet.

I repeated each image of the gang and coloured it in then played around with them to see how they would look in different colours. I wanted them to look different and not just like a human gang, so knew that crazy colours would be ideal for hair and skin etc. 

Excelsior Gang Initial Designs

I decided to draw up a few ideas for some possible gangs that could live in the undercity. I came up with a wide range of ideas so that I could come up with some very different gangs for my final two. 

I used inspiration from Dr Seuss characters with the wacky hair and body shapes. I also wanted to express the types of characters and personalities the members of the gangs had. I then focused more on each gang:

After some feedback I was told that I should do some colour tests on these gangs to see if I could make them look more crazy or exciting to look at.
