Trying to team these up got awkward! Sorry about that

well, this got awkward

After not touching this project for some time, I gotta say it was so much fun coming back to it with fresh ideas. For my next project, I think I’ll give myself tighter constraints on exactly what type of character I’m making.

Hey everyone, here's my line-up. In the critique video of the last assignment, my page of character drawings, which incorporated my thematic ideas, was missed. I've decided to use those characters as they were for this assignment. I will apply Scott's feedback from this assignment and the last critique, with some of my own changes, in the next digital/shapecarving stage. By the way Scott, your livestream the other day was great. I'm glad I watched it live though, as the recording is blocked in my region due to copyright of the music content.

Hi @Scott Flanders and fellow students, here is my current line-up. I updated the characters from the development stage with the exploration for the focal points. After the last feedback video (focal points), I did some more sketches and finally I merged two weaker characters (the leader and the tinker) into a new one. I had way more fun with the farmer and reduced the samurai theme to a point where I think it is acceptable.. Even though I preferred 5 characters in the line-up in terms of odd numbers, I had to admit that the material was not good enough. I scanned them and did some digital corrections. The blocked color in the background helps me to identify the shapes a bit better with the sketches. For the upcoming shapecarving I would like to change some details along the way. Some proportions, some gesture... this is really hard for me with the pencil. I am so used to flipping canvas and doing cmd-Z, especially when it comes to making final decisions. The Pumpkin Brigade is my thrown together mercenary troop, which gets the job done for the right amount of coin. Best wishes from my desk to all, Andre

Yes!!! I will do some iterations on my characters based on your latest critique video. This is gonna be great :)
