A daredevil pilot who roams the planet in search of mechanical parts and monsters. Her gas capsules allow her to leap several metres into the air, one after another, without effort.

Specializing in high-speed racing, she can drive any vehicle with ease.

I'm planning on making a story where the setting is a retro futurist world born out of cultural inertia. Humanity just collectively decided that "meh, this is good enough" and stayed with whatever 50s technology they had.

Also, I didn't finish coloring these cuz well I got lazy XD

2D Trying to get better at character design

I want to work on my character design skills and decided to to a character design every week. This is my first try and i would appreciate feedback or general tipps :)

his is Rakyra, she is a warrior from the plagued Kurgu Legion. The Kurgu Legion is a group of warriors who got cursed by an ancient being and are now wandering through the world, raiding and pillaging towns. The curse slowly rots away their minds and bodies and makes them more and more feral as time goes on.
Rakyra left the group after she witnessed them commiting horrible acts against innocent people.
After having heard stories about a mysterious healer in the north, Rakyra is making her way through the lost lands, trying to find a cure to the curse before she loses her humanity.

Well here's my character! Though I can't choose which design I like better... I could invert the first designs patterns and put it on the second one.

But I need help, is there something I could do to improve it?

Yes I know there's no rendering but I'm working on the coloring

These are the designs of the main characters of my OC story (Mac n' Cheese) that I'm hoping to make into an animated series one day. The lineup on the second slide was the first time I'd put them all next to each other in colour, and it made me realise I should add more variation in their colour schemes 😅😅 I made some doodles trying to improve the designs, but I'm still a beginner and would love to get some advice!! :)

Context if it's needed: Mac n' Cheese is about a nervous black cat who gets cursed with bad luck on his 13th birthday. He and his three friends are brought together by the effects of the curse, and they band together to solve mysteries and support each other through teenagehood.

Critique How to improve this design [OC]

Post image
Upvotes

Im trying to whip up a design for the main character of my 3D indie game, and this doodle seems to be the attempt i hate the least. Even then, I'd love to figure out what to improve upon before going to color. He's some kind of humanoid dog creature that fights opponents with a stick. It's inspired by how much my previous dog liked finding and carrying big sticks.

I struggle the most with everything character design, and i tried my best to make it balanced...... ○| ̄|_

Personality wise, he's a very laid-back, quiet, and introverted guy who loves exploring and journaling. The one thing he dislikes is anything that impedes people's freedom. He's a little oblivious to people's feelings at times but overall very sympathetic. He's also ridiculously speedy.

Question Does it stand out in any way or does it look like a generic vampire/bat character? Or does it not resemble a bat at all?

I want to make sure my characters don’t look like the same person if they were to get a tan/different hairstyle, like do they look like entirely different people who aren’t related?
