Step one: Start it up!
Upon starting the thumbnail portion of this project I had very little knowldge of what I wanted to make. I settled on a gunslinger, someone who loves to shoot things.
Somewhere along the line things got weird and the Male/female went from a western gun-toting dog lover to some alien with a blow torch. SO, suffice it to say that I did stray a bit. Working within the confines of an idea may have helped me focus more. However I think that the ones that I find most intriging are mostly in the bottom row, I began to narrow my focus a bit more and come up with somthings that I found fun.
Concepts Continued: Step 2
I've chosen ones that people have given me the most feedback on and some I found to be more interesting.
My main goal is to come up with a new type of Gunslinger character, but I still haven't decided on male of female. I would imagine that gender at this point needs to be known, but I'm torn. (Sketch dump follows)
Evaluating Thumbs:
Moving on to the Refinment (but not done) stage, I'm also not sure if I'd like the character to be Alien or just plain human (Cyborg maybe?)
At this point I think that the character should definitly be a Dual Weilding Gunslinger , but not just with normal bullets. (Lazers? Magical bullets?) The charcter should have a weapon that draws its power from a source on or within the characters body. The plain white areas on each variation below indicate where I'd like those power sources to originate from.
Refining more:
Each character has thier own style
Left: Gritty, more traditional looking gunslinger.
Mid-Left: Female Gunslinging sorceress!
Mid-Right: Cyborg/alien/cowboy looking character with guns for hands.
Right: Pompus highly skilled and style conscious gunslinger.
Any suggestions? thoughts?
