Character redesign
3yr
Giulio D'Amico
This is a character redesign of Karai from the TMNT verse. I realised it for the February CDChallenge.
I feel that the pose is not readable enough.
Do you have any suggestions or feedback about it?
This is amazing work! I just got into this pose and found that I kind of wanted to roll my shoulders back and stack my head over my pelvis just to be able to balance. If she's cutting through something and applying pressure on the sword then it makes sense for her shoulders to be rolled over but if not maybe try them less hunched and lowered/back?
Thanks for the feedback and your comment! I'll think about your advice. The pose should represent the moment after a slicing action. But since it is finished and she's not applying force on the sword anymore, you're probably right.
Hey Giulio,
I like your redesign, and the drawing is nice.
My biggest feedback is that she looks like she is sleeping. The pose is very up and down and straight which makes it kind of stiff. I did a quick sketch to show you how you could add some dynamic elements to the pose. I hope this helps :)
Hi Steve. Thanks for the feedback! I think this really helps! I see now that my pose lacks dynamism. And your silhouette is clearer too.
