Description Nobel! And a little larger, this time, a couple people were asking about it. ^ ^

I'd be lying if I didn't say this is probably my favorite character to draw. Although out of everybody his is probably the simplest design, but he is always the hardest to do. It really is down to every little quirky twitch and detail.

When it comes down to it, it's just kind of him and his behavior.. so there's no need to distract from that with crazy hairstyles and buckles and straps.. even if they do look cool. I did add more stitches, but I took the color out of them, so it's just the color of his skin showing through where the pieces of fabric don't quite meet. He really needs to appear to be coming apart at the seams, and he also needed something to break up his bodysuit just a tad.

And speaking of tight, he's probably the only guy character I have who wears anything like this. Nobel is normally twisted around trying to make himself more comfortable, and he makes some interesting shapes that baggier clothing would hide.

His skin and hair are almost the sunlight extremes, like he's been flash-fried: something bad happened to this guy. And his eyes used to be empty yellow orbs, but the gray pseudo-pupils are way creepier. At least to me, but I'm scared of the living dead.

In short, for him the devil's in the details. To be perfectly honest, if it were up to him he'd probably be a pulsing whirling light of doom. DOOM LIGHT!

I walked up to this image with no prior information or familiarity. And after reading your comments, I have to say that it really is a very challenging character to draw.

The disquiet id striking but also all the more powerful in that it really is carried uniformly through the figure. It's not just a twisted expression. It's in the bends of the legs and the little inward curls of the big toes.

It absolutely true that draping this person in a lot of fabric would completely obscure this effect.

He creeps me out. His posture, expression, eye, bodysuit, the lot. And as a doom-light, I think that's only natural.

Well done. Do keep doing characters the hard way.

Wait, isn't he the one who has long gone insane because of the sound of millions of clocks ticking in his mind? Or was that someone else? o____o
Either way, fantastic details. He's so creepy, yet he has that sort of...strange cuteness to him. o3o

It's tough when you ask for critique for things-you really know your stuff. The only thing I could maybe find is his fingers look a little bit thin in comparison to the rest of him-but I'm not even sure about that. Good job.

Interesting character! To me at least, he has quite a zombie-esque look to him. The gray-ish pupil.. kinda gave me the impression that he's blind, but am sure he's not. I remember seeing him once or twice in some other pictures of yours. He seems to have quite a past to him. Keep up the great work!

I can tell with one look that this guy's got Problems. I would not ask him to come around and watch my small children (not that I've got any yet, but you know what I mean).

Actually, I probably wouldn't trust him with anything but flimsy plastic utensils and paper cups/plates. Not only for my own personal safety, but he looks like he might hurt himself, even if on accident.

And since that's the look you're going for, well done! I do like the fact that his mental state is reflected by his clothing, and the skin-tightness only emphasizes the fact that he's got nothing to hide. Well done!

Your colouring continues to astound me. I do have to comment that his open eye doesn't quite seem to sit in his skull as well as the closed one does. When everything else in this picture is so solid, that's a little jarring. Nice hands and feet, too; I love those toes.

Fangirl0 [2009-04-22 20:32:17 +0000 UTC]

Wow. I have to say that, while the design is a bit simpler than your other work, that doesn't make this guy any less impressive.
The facial expression and body language say so much about the character and give a real interest to him.

nakira [2009-04-22 20:27:22 +0000 UTC]

Hoo, as far as critique I think I have the least to say about this one then the others. I'm really fascinated by this type of character and the way he came to be the way he is. :0

My issue is with the anatomy, specifically with the arm in the background. It's too similar in width to the leg. I mean, even super-skinny people have a definite difference in muscle between their arms and legs. Either I think you need to add some more muscle ("width") to the legs, or take a little muscle ("width") away from the arms. I feel like his legs would have a hard time supporting his torso. I mean, truth be told this would probably add to his jerky movements, but it may be something you want to consider.

Whoo, living dead!

..Wait.
