Manifest



The hero is a compulsive liar so I tried to have his design lines guide you to his face, which I guess would be a con artist's greatest asset. His chaps and poncho feature patterns that are supposed to lead you upward. At least that was the intent.

The villain was a southern gentleman who in actuality was the hero's "shadow" given autonomy and a body of its own. His design lines were supposed to guide you to his feet to where his shadow appears. (Would a shadow have its own shadow?) Well...too late now.

Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Shadow".

Done for a character design class.

Style Exercise






Exercise in class where we were asked to depict pages filled with hands, eyes, noses and ears in as many different artistic styles that we could conceive of. Was pretty fun point in fact.
