Orthographic body sketch.

This is a sketch of the main body frame and shape. I will upload the designs based on this within the next few days. Ill also have a UDK video up soon, showing my progress.

Character ideas.

This is an old pic, but I thought id upload it on here anyway. Got a few doodles and sketches to see what sort of look I wanted to go for with my character. It was initially about having a cartoon looking cat, with simple mechanical features, such as cog earrings, wire whiskers and metal plates on its face. A very early design as can be seen the robotic head on the right shows that, I had at one point thought of making the characte completely robotic, but its body catlike. Good concept sketch of how I wanted to go about it anyway.

Silhouettes cont.

Got a basic silhouette design for my character. This is only the basic 'flesh' and shape of CatDroid however. I'll be adding, changing and modifiying differnt aspects and features of him. Maybe some different shaped eyes and adding more robotic, metallic parts to show he is part robot. But this is what the main body shape will look like. Heres one of him in full black, and a light white.

Silhouettes.

Been a while since ive posted anything up. Just finding the time to upload some of the research and sketches I suppose, ive been crunching out some UDK stuff an all, gonna post some progress on that soon, but i'll talk about design stuff for now.Trying to come up with a final design for my character had proved to be a lil tricky. I knew what I wanted it to look like, however, I kept checking things out that I thougtht would improve or be a better design choice. It is indeed very tricky to create a 'simple' looking character. I looked into various different character silhouettes to see how they stood out, by simply glancing at them. Most of them are easily recognisable. They have the key features I want for the look of my character, large feet, the big head and smaller body. A few distinguishing features are also present, such as Sonic's spikes, Mickey's ears and Rayman's head etc.

Next up I plan on finalising the design of my character and looking into colour schemes. I'll also be looking into enemy characters, that fit into the games visual style.
