Description
WARNING: OLD ART!! The art and comments in this Deviation may no longer represent the artist's current views or interests.
Development for "Gluttony" from my animation-in-progress animation this semester at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore.
He is meant to embody consumerism, decadence, wealth, and gluttony. In the end we all return to the earth, no matter our wealth or social standing, and he gets devoured by Mama Nature and her children.

I love how much work you put into making this particular character.

...I'm beginning to think that you have a thing for drawing people with 'super long legs'.

Eeeek, I love character study and development pages like these ;A; They inspire me! I love the different changes and how drastically different he ended up in comparison to the first design - what a lovely course of changes and tweaks. I might look at more of these that you have c:

....I just took another look at this, and for some reason, the uncolored finalized sketch with those hands reminded me so damn much of The Wall by Pink Floyd, specifically The Trial. XD Hahaha I started hearing in my head "GOOD MORNING, THE WORM, YOUR HONOR~! ♪ The crown will now plainly show.."
Bahaha.. I'm crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy, truly gone fishing... XP

Wow. Wow wow wow. I love how diverse your character studies are... How even one character morphs so much over the course of development. Your drawings have this solid weight to them that I really like! It's kind of a work of art in itself jst to see the process. Kudos :>

In the beginning I felt bad for the guy in chair. He seemed so sad. Then I slowly became more open to Gluttony being eaten by the Voodoo Priestess. :/ Does that make me a bad person?

That poor, good-looking man really needs to be paid more.
Also, the evolution to Fru-fru Mc-Jabbacakes is absolutely amazing.

Hahaha, first thing I thought when I saw the finalized version posed like that was "GOOD MORNING, WORM, YOUR HONOR! ♪"

Much better than the design at the top. The final one is a lot harder to feel sorry for.

i like the first sketch of the victim more but WOW Gluttony comes out great QoQ

I like him. And I honestly really like his thin, slender hands since hands somehow don't really get fat easily, and thin, almost feminine hands to me always looks like someone who wouldn't do any physical labor if his life depended on it (he has servants for that...), while bigger hands would get a little... truck-driver/lumberjacky. Sweet work with him.

You have a real talent for exaggerating physical features just enough to bring a mood or point across, but not enough to make it unrealistic. It is really interesting to see the different concepts and steps in character design. I hadn't really thought before about changing character designs and trying out new ones, but it definitely makes you characters amazing. You can really see all the effort you have put in this, and it is amazing.

Fru-fru Mc-Jabbacakes 
There's something about seeing your process that makes me anxious to finish high school and get into Animation
Keep up the good work!

Amazing. I love seeing some of your process. People don't always get to experience what goes into creating a believeable character but seeing it makes me (and hopefully others) appreciate the final product even more.

Wasnt purple the most expensive color to dye in the early ages? Due to it's difficulty?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, yes. It was also only given to royalty, due to the difficulty of making it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly, was it the same with blue?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Um, I don't think so. I think blue was slightly easier to make. Purple was made from the indigo plant.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yes that may be true but the point being that both were much harder to make than other colors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. The medieval times were a bitch to peasants, who had to make the dyes.

Indeed :c poor guys, as if plauges and starvation wasnt making life shitty enough for them.

Haha, yeah. The medieval ages screwed people over, big time. What with the Black death and whatnot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha exactly xD I am very glad I didnt live in those times.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I hear ya. I'd probably tolerate it, but only if i were a knight or something. I like swords
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha xD I dont think knights were more immune to the black death than peasants xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, i know. I just like swords.

Hehe well no one says you cant have one now xD

True enough, but the one I want is handmade, and only about 3000 ever made. Then again, this one wouldn't be bad either. [link] or this one [link] both of which i drew perfectly.

I would absolutely love to have them.

Yes. Blue was a very expensive dye, which is why on church windows Mother Mary was usually shown wearing blue clothes. It was the church's way of showing off their wealth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh I see, so it was sorta purple for the royalty and blue for the church? I need to study fashion history again -.- Anyway, awesome character sheets

Purple and blue were both expensive dyes, but in color psychology purple is associated with magic, spirituality, and regal/royal characters, whereas blue reflects more calm, collected personalities. It worked better.
