Rough Models

These are by no means final. I'm still playing with his shapes ... Hes a variation of the Sept. 19th post...


I'm awful at environmental sketches and compositions... Here's a shot at a pretty simple uhh..ummm, well, shot.
Not thrilled about the pofile...
Hopefully it'll work itself out.
I might of gotten a little outta control on the neck
of some of these. Just wanted to keep them loose.

Good lord, Javi.....great sketches!! Especially that first page. I gotta print that puppy out to go above my desk at home.

fantastic prelims,man...if you're havin trouble with her profile try squaring her chin and jaw JUST a TAD...so it doesn't look like she had a no-jaw...we've all seen those;) try it...it may work may not...but the shape and proportion on that cowboy are stunning...bold AND beautiful...

I like those designs....I'm not so interested in your dude's neck.....maybe If I look at it more, it'll become pleasing...


You're girl is great! I picture her profile to curve in where the bridge of her nose is.

I think McGee looks great with the barrel chest. That upside down lightbulb body. I wouldn't angularize it. I really like the contrasted shapes where the neck and body meet. But he's a bit more angular overall so maybe consistency is better...

Glad to be of no help -

Love the 3/4 sketch of your girlie's head. And in profile yeah a baby jaw might help, but personally I love flat shapes so keepin' her noggin a ball makes me happy anyway...

Really nice poses on the girly.I especially like the limp way she's holding the gun downwards. You can feel the weight of it.
