Drenton drawn up

More work has commenced on the town. Especially proud of the HSBC rip off in the lower corner, it took ages! 

These were all pretty easy; draw up the lines which take quite a while, work out the palette, fill the colours, then heartbreakingly delete all the lines you painstakingly made earlier. 

The town of Drenton-On-Sea

So i've started designing the town and its houses, basing it on the seaside town I grew up in. Going for a 1960's cratoon look, straight lines, off kilter shapes, all part of the childrens animation aesthetic I want it look like.  

WEEK 6IX

Attempting different expressions with his potential 60's-ish cartoon modern face. Looks beaky and quite creepy but a bit too clean that he looks snide when angry. Harder to feel sympathy for this face.

A return to Sila's old look but with cleaner distinct lines. More fitting to his dark appearance and strange manner. 

WEEK FIVE

Silas got some brand new rags! An outfit more in tone with undertaker rather than office worker. Currently drawing him with a much simpler appearance and a beak like nose. 

Faces

WEEK THREE

Starting to paint a backstory for the character, the successor to a line of Father&Son funeral homes, single, early 40's lives alone. Too big for everything in his house which previously belonged to his parents. 

WEEK TWO

Here are some scribbles, Ive been toying with his proportions, his face and the way he moves. My family have always had a saying (usually whipped out at weddings), to describe the dancing lankier members 'Swaying like a pissed giraffe'. The simile perfectly nails how I imagine him moving. 

A couple of faces and him posed against the rotating backdrop. I should stop drawing him with white pupils he looks a bit too much of a zombie and this is a character who as bad as he is shouldn't be disliked by the audience.
