Bishounen of the Apocalypse

Eh. I think we've established that character design is not my forte. :) (Or at least, character design without a full script in hand to give me an idea of their personalities.)



I pretty much hate them all except Cute. Angsty's way out of proportion - he got redesigned at the last minute and I didn't take the time to redo the sketch like I should have. I'm still not happy with his hair or his clothing. All I know if that he's got to have something with enough of a neckline to show off the necklaces. :) And Snarky lost his expression when I inked it in - will work on that. Brooding isn't as dynamic as the others, and with Cute ... well, I can't do a big-eyed happy character without making them look slightly manic.

They also need to be very clean, very very simple because these are basically going into keychains and will be printed at 45 x 70 mm, which is SMALL. If anyone's got a copy of Salty Dog IV, page 60 is the basic idea I'm going for - flat, desaturated colors with no shading, and dynamic lines (which I have utterly failed to achieve with these).


Angsty


Snarky


Brooding


Cute




ETA: Maybe I really need YOU PEOPLE to write me snippets starring each of them so I can get a better feel for character. Have fun with it, and it doesn't matter if someone else has picked one and done it. (And don't think too hard about it.)

ETA2 Bonus points if you work in something from the kinkfic generator. My favorite one of each will get a free keychain starring that character! XD (hopefully that will get at least some of you interested in it...)

Snarky: That's the unprincipled snarky archaeologist. He robs graves! He steals trinkets to give to his lovers! He learns ancient magic spells! He tears all over the world, frequently without a visa and leaving a trail of littered cigarettes! He's like Indiana Jones, except instead of a whip, he has a small pearl-handled revolver.
