Sketchings: A taste of character development.



Lost in Reflection ~ Charlie Irons July 2011


I really love to goof off with Photoshop. I'll grab something from the sketch book and drop it in a doll it up with some color. More than anything, it's just a great way to learn and keep my eye in shape.

Sometimes it's to work out the color schemes and design quirks of characters and sets. Going into designing stories, pages, and the very things of a story with the rough edges hammered out, ahead of time, is very, very useful

But, on occasion, it's also fun to work on characters; fleshing them out, some - if in nature of spirit, if not in physicality. As in life, a good character is shaped as much by what's happening on the inside as by what we see on the outside.

And who is our sultry beauty, Lost in Reflection? Well, I guess you'll have to keep reading the pages of Galactic Gun to find out, won't you?
