Oneiromantic character sketches

[lpanda]

Due to pesky exams i have been absent from CP for a little while .So there was not that much time for me to work on sketches too ...
Anyways below , i will be posting a series of charater sketches (literally lame 5 minute ones ) but as long as you get the general feel of the characters that was all these where ment to do anyways here you go...i will update as i scan them in.please tell me how i would need to improve on the characters.

Oliver
( i thought his name was buddy for the longest time...)

Greetings:

Panda, your art and style is very nice. I would like to see your work on a full scale basis, such as a short manga.

I, however, do not think that Oneironmantic is the right sort of story for you. You belong in a happier world.


For the Riptide Project,
Advent Childhe,

ohhh ...>.> well roger is on the darker side i ment to put some contrast in the characters one on the "cuter" side and one on the more masculine side (thats the best i could put it )

brain: the glasses are new they are under the new and changed catagory

[Bryan]

lol... did u just call me brain? lol... i admit... having "cute" characters in a dark story is a bit out of place... but it's not unseen... and when done right it can be good... it's all about how the character looks in the story... and design pic can be as cute as the designer wants... but to make that cute character to act mature or devious in the story is another challenge... so it's all about the story... like they say "don't judge a book by its cover."

... If I may...?

I believe I have been accused of a man of few words when it comes to the important things, and for that I have been remiss. I'd like to take this opportunity to redeem myself, if I may.

Below, you will find my notes on the character Oliver Cayce. I apologise for the quality of these sketches, as they were done in a hurry. I've spent more time with the older ones, but the new ones contained notes which might help to explain why Oliver Cayce looks and dresses the way he does at the present moment. I hope these notes and sketches will help.

Old sketches:

New sketches:


The new version of Oliver Cayce is slightly younger than what the story calls for. The new wardrobe change diminishes his ability to act as a foil to his partner-in-crime. The glasses will take away a defining characteristic of another character, who will appear later. Therefore, as innovative as the new ideas are, they are not exactly functional in the way the story calls for. I deeply apologise for not making myself clear at the beginning, and hope that I will see Panda gives these chracters another shot.

As ever,

... If I may...?

To prevent what has happened with Oliver Cayce from recurring, I have taken the liberty to dig out the old sketches that I have done with Marcus Crowley, and scanned them. Once again, I have spent more time with the old sketches, however, the new one contains the notes that would help. The other thing that I'd like to mention is that Marcus went through a bit of a change between the two different sketches. If nothing else, he would look a tad more towards the new sketches.

Old sketch:

New sketch:


One thing I forgot to mention is that Marcus is quite tall. In fact, he is the tallest of all characters. There's over half a foot difference between him and Oliver, and that is another distinguishing feature for him.

Good luck,
As Ever,
