added comment inVigilante character design
Hey Frog, I really like your design and drawing, really nice job.
I thought about what you are struggling with so I did a quick drawing to show you how you could see it differently. This is just an iteration of what you already did, but I hope it helps.
Hello!
I have this character whom I plan to use in a comic someday.
He is a vigilante trying to take down a corrupt, dystopian government. He utilizes kicks, punches, and a Bo staff when fighting. Taekwondo is the main inspiration.
With this design, I am struggling with showing personality/fighting style, colors, and the shape language. I use red and white to show that he’s actually a pretty angry dude, however he tries his best to keep it contained. The black belt is because…well, he’s a martial artist.
However, I am not sure how to show his kicking-dominated style effectively. Not only that, but I feel that the silhouette is bland; there’s little variation in the sizing, but I don’t know what to bulk up or slim down. Finally, I am disappointed with the black-on-black (undergarments & belt), but the belt being black seems important to me, and I don’t know what to do for the undergarments.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :-)
