Tanya Character Designs 1A

Description

Some fun character designs I did up for the very cool and super-sweet British Cosplayer/model Tanya Tate.:clap:

I'm always a bit apprehensive when sitting down with someone and showing them a comicbook caricature you've drawn for/of them. It's gone over well every time, but there's always that lingering "artist thing" in the back of your mind of "What if they don't like it?".:iconbutbutplz:

Well it did go over wonderfully:iconilavplz: and she did really like seeing herself in this type of comicbook version, and especially got a kick out of the head-shot with her tongue sticking out.


I did this one up to test out some head-shots and get down a comic/toony version of her sort of as a ref/template for future Cosplay-prints, etc. And yes, there's a good amount of Art Adams, Campbell, and some Ryan Stegman(look him up, crazy-talented) mixed into this one, as well as just utilizing the amazing features of Tanya herself.:thumbsup: When I first met her I didn't know/recognize who she was. I just saw someone in an Emma Frost costume and thought :O_o: "oh my gosh, look at those cheek-bones, the hair and her profile. That is a perfect Emma Frost!" So having an aesthetic base-line structure like her's to work with also really lends itself to this type of fun comicbook caricatures without really having to think too hard/much about it.:)

Once ya have something like this, it's easier to do the paper-doll cut out thing with costumes to see what might work best:i.e. photocopy the page and then draw on the different costumes right over the underlining structure/model.;-) Plus you always want to keep learning and improving,:work: so any fun additional practice like this never goes to waste.:)
