Colonel Shar figure sketches
Added 2019-12-31 03:52:47 +0000 UTCSgt Rek and the Colonel have the most difficult figures for me to stay on-model with; Rek because he's huge and I have a tendency to draw characters with tapered-anatomy (ie: smaller hands/feet, bigger mid-areas), when he's supposed to have that Humberto Ramos early 2000s Image Comics big-fisted chunkiness to him.
The Colonel on the other hand is hard because:
- She's got digitigrade legs (normally that "Zootopia Plantigrade" look is easier for me)
- Not just female anatomy but a specific kind of uncommonly athletic female figure.
- Her freakin almond head shape
- THAT BERET, how does it sit properly on her weird head?
Bad figure construction really sneaks up on me, so as you see here, I have to occasionally delve into basic figure stuff to make sure I'm not letting anatomical impossibilities occur underneath my dense shadows.
Anyways while these are pretty tame and inspired by a bit of Samus and Cammy from Street Fighter, I generally don't post "Gym Colonel" sketches around TOO publicly. I want the audience to enjoy her as she is in the book first before they get a *cough* "Metroid Good Ending" version of her.
