Some character work for games and personal

This one started as a character design but not very successful at designing a convincing military uniform, it turned into a reflection on the sniper having to live with all the ghost of the people he had taken out.

Some sketch practice from photos (not mine, I collected them from the web and don't know their author's names). On the one on the right, I tried to understand the shapes under the heavy tattoos the model had on big areas of her body. I removed them all together but I cannot really compare the result with the photo… Interesting challenge, anyway.

And some other random photo studies

Various ideas

A few character sketches. These are somewhat peculiar because of a wacom drivers issue - I lost pressure sensitivity somehow, so I decided to work anyways since there were meant to be only sketches. Oh, and if I remember correctly, the pressure sensitivity came back by itself…

Another batch of life drawings from that era. At the end of last year I snapped some photos before I threw the block away. At some point you have to get rid of some of this stuff. And no, I did not throw away any masterpiece ;)

Some life drawings. I remember I forced myself to use a bamboo stick with ink. So, I remember the tension, the uneasiness of having to commit to the "first" line. Still wonder why am I so scared of getting something wrong... really, life is too short for this kind of nonsense.
