Description Animated WOLVERINE character design.

I am not a fan of a lot of american style cartoon art. especially when it comes to the lines. they used to be soft and rounded, (which was a little better) but now all i see is hard angles. and it bugs me. i would love to see a cartoon illustrated with a brush, thick to thin lines, volume... you know?

This design is about as simple as i can get.
It's a practice for myself to try something i generally can't do. i'm generally pretty sloppy, this is to keep things simple and open. stuff like that.

NOTE: the colors change from what i do from my CIntiq to my desktop to web.... so the colors are a little off in my opinion, but they were perfect! i swear!


anyway, enjoy what i wish wolverine would look like animated.
cheers

look, the pic looks very good! it actually reminds me more of MAX or theTHE MAX in reference to body structure, and poor posture, but the pic is quite good. Big strong body, legs of a weakling.

Well, the angular stuff is popular now because retro (ala Hanna-Barbera) toon styles are "hip" right now and it's got varying degrees of quality. I really liked The Batman and Spectacular Spiderman but other contemporary cartoons aren't looking as good.

They should make much more of Disney, Silver and Caldwell styles and much, much less retro and anime.

I like the angular look for character design mostly because it translates to low-poly 3D models best.

This Wolvie rocks out loud, but i prefer your looser style to this because it conveys motion and emotion better.

Looks awesome, but it would be really difficult to animate I think. For TV they do whatever is cheapest and fastest

yeah, the colors do seem off, instead of blue and yellow it reads as a brown...

To keep the colours, there's a process involving "Save for Web" and a bunch of settings, or whatever, so I just fit the image to screen, screencap it and save that as a JPG instead of my working file after cropping out all the junk around the image.
