I pushed further the leader, the striker, the outsider, the controller and the tank. :) lineup coming soon. The topic is soil and seeds.

Here’s a current mock-up of my lineup and another page of character exploration!  I think I might replace the whip on the Radishmancer with sickles. I like the root whip idea but I think some kind of sickle or scythe might be a clearer read in the lineup plus it would make for a cool contrast with all the organic forms

Tried to stick to the Harvest-man theme but from more of a Harvest equipment angle. Would love to get some constructive feedback on how you think my design, shape/line usage, could be improved, or if I ‘“min/maxed”, enough. Hope you enjoy looking them over.

Here are the three creatures I've selected. The first one is a bull infected by a pumkin, but if you shoot the pumkin, the bull gets lighter and his speed gain a boost. The second one is a hummingbird vine, but I don't know if it suck the hero's life like fu"@ing mosquitos or give health back to the other animals... Maybe both ? And the third is a 3 stage bramble mantis, first little and cute, but getting bigger and monster like when it gets older...

Hey guys, Here's what I got so far after following the whole course (I can't do the digital part so I sticked to paper :)) By the way, this course is still flagged as "in progress", does anyone know if and when will there more videos ?

Here I selected couple of my Forest Constructs to refine them later. I was going for the variety in their characteristics and giving them different roles in a party

Howdy, nice to see all these ideas solidifying. I hope this slides in before the deadline. I really struggled with this one, maybe I was over thinking it. I feel like what I did wasn't enough and that somewhere in my head is a better design... Does this frustration pop up often when designing characters? So, how could I edit these down to get a stronger "message" that unifies the designs more, if that's the right question to ask? I was trying a "cursed county fair" angle with these.

This is the 1st one I decided to push a bit further, it's a hulking fungus monster who uses the faces of previous victims to lure humans and to consume them. I'll be posting the rest on a few days, had an unexpected trip that is delaying me . Really cool to see the variety of styles people can do.

Not sure in my last post I put it in the right section , still pretty new to Proko. Thought the comments and assignments were going to be merged. My bad for posting this image twice. Was hoping for some feedback:) I kept pushing these designs of mine on pages . I chose 5 and even pushed them more. Hopefully looking not too crazy ,haha. I got a heaving , one that does magic and even minions with four arms that walks on them with other cast of characters. I dig the pumpkin harvest so much so went with that idea. This is such a great class! Btw look at my previous post for more thought process and ideas with writing and thumbnails. Thanks

Ok so here's more pushed characters of mine. The sketches are the new ones based off the colored. Not sure if I pushed the designs too far . Things got a tad crazy ,haha. Chose 5 I really liked and gave them more of an edge. I drew a bit of the same process as Scott Flanders, only I drew them mostly digitally. Rough light gesture sketch , came in with darker lines and drew more anatomy . Then filled with a base shade of grey , flats. Then added a shaded block in with darker grey shading. Last , I went over the sketch and darken the lineart , outlines. Hopefully they read well. Loving class! Learning a lot. Btw if you want more of a description on them, feel free to see my previous posts :) Wrote a decent amount of stuff.

Hi Scott and all the rest! I hope I am not to late for the assignment! I only had one and a half days due to work and travel so I tried to give it my best shot within the time I had. There were many ups and downs during the development (with a lot of garbage) and there are (definitely) parts I really would like to research and explore in more depth. But for now... let me introduce: The Pumpkin Brigade! A ruthless band of mercenaries who does all the dirty work you are not willing to do. Checkered Leader - takes care of the contract and coin Warlock - freaks the shit out of people and calls for supernatural backup Tank - hits things with his big hammer Shadow - gets into places and creates confusing with his pumpkin spice grenades Tinker - has the right tool and trick for every situation They might be a bit icky and carry an unpleasant smell, but they get the job done. I copied them together and added a few colors, just to get a better idea of the size and proportions. Good day to everybody, Andre

Hello everyone. Here are the next parts for the "farmers controlled by plants character designs". Pages 4,5 and 6 are part of the ideation process for the 3 selected characters for this assignment. The actual assignment is on page number 7. Thank you again Scott for the first assignment video, I tried to take it into account as much as I could considering the time I had. Have all a nice day and thank you again.

So in keeping with the goal of developing characters based on archetypes and creating a lineup, I ended up deviating quite a bit from my initial sketches. A lot of my Potato Famine ideation sketches, while cool, felt more like minions than main lineup. That said, I still took plenty of ideas from those sketches into this next phase. Rather than doing a lineup of 5 totally different archetypes, I did 3 and repeated them on each side of the conflict. The side of good being those who are fighting the minions of the blight and the side of evil being those who have succumbed to its power and now do its bidding. The three archetypes are basically Leader (doubling as DPS + Rogue/Dual Wield Ranger), Tank (doubling as Outsider) and Wizard + Summon. Notes on each with some more backstory are in the images. Also included are some exploration sketches I did to get to each of these characters. One thing I struggled with a bit was presentation, especially of the Blight side because they have a lot of strips of goop and flesh that don't lend themselves well to strong shape definition. Also in general I had a hard time lining up the characters in an aesthetically pleasing way because I did most of the drawings individually or as pairs, so I didn't feel their pose or orientation was as strong in a lineup.

Here’s my five! I’m wondering how to go about making interesting and appealing shapes. Also, how to go about posing from a front view. Thank you!

Looking at the assignments of other students I realized there was an opportunity to study their work and try to do better with mine. I went ahead and redesigned the whole team, and I think I learned a lot from the amazing works posted here! This is the Leader, with massive HP and immune to Ambush. I'll share the rest of the team in this post to avoid spamming the chat.

Part 2 of the Assignment, took my 5 favorite characters and developed them further with 3 variations each, trying to exhaust the different facets of each archetype. Enjoy!

I am in the midst of moving from Europe to the US so I did not have much time to draw. I am posting my first monster just in case the critique is around the corner 😉 I will work on the next four in the next two weeks and post them as a comment here 👇 This is the Cow of Doom, a tank class character in my party 🐮🐮🐮 Recently I really started to like stylized characters, so I tried to embrace that! Hope it worked out! Feedback is welcomed!

I've gone through another round of Ideation and I come up with a theme I'm fond of, a family of monsters running a horror farm. I have other two archetypes but they need more work, probably more Ideation time. If I can't make it for this assignment I'll add them to the line up during the next one!

Here is the fifth creature variation.
