Look it's a Pirate! AAAAAAH

.... couldn't resist one more... it had to be done or else I wouldn't have met my goal for the night...

Private Pirates, at your service!

a couple more sketches I tossed out tonight. it's 4am and I still can't stop drawing these characters. man animating this is going to be wicked. too bad I haven't finalized the main character to a polish that I love so much yet. It would make it a lot more bearable to animate.

Pirates - Detective Style

Alright -so I decided that these characters would be acting in a really cheesy Film Noir Detective romance kind of way - kinda like Casablanca, or the two recent classics that I have watched and absolutely fell in love with: Double Indemnity, and The Big Sleep. Oh man I need to feed this craving some more - good film noirs seem few and far between, but these were great - especially double indemnity. Anyways here are the designs.

oh and just something to note. I drew these yesterday, and I lost them because I am a fool. So I then spent 2 hours looking for them before redrawing them. I'm still not 100% convinced that these were quite as good as the others - but it's at least as close as I will be able to redraw anyways.

Workbook Sketches

I can't wait to colour these, and add in the characters because they look like they are pointing to nothing which is extremely displeasing to the eye. However this is necessary I guess to figure out exactly what the layout is going to look like. hm. I dunno. Anyways - life drawings and charicatures are coming as soon as I unlazy myself enough to take pictures and post them.
