Revolucion! [ 革命 ]


Revolucion! [ 革命 ], originally uploaded by frc37.

This took three days to do.

Day ONE: Sketch out the identity

I used a photo of a friend(below) with a unique face. I think these types of faces have quite a bit of personality so I find them much more memorable to work with. It was difficult to figure out which is the right fit, and to capture the likeness but retaining the style I've been using as of late.


DAY TWO: POSITIONING

The second day involved perspective, clothing, and the right pose to communicate the best mood and tone. It started off rather rough, almost like playing around with an action figure and figuring out how the character would work and why.


DAY THREE: Shadows, details...

After HOURS of burning the midnight oil, the pose was finished and then came the "finish". Putting in shadows and other things to see what would work best. Trying to figure out something unique per the work, was a bit difficult because I wanted there to be a message that is relate able to the character.

REVOLUTION was appropriate. There needs to be change right?
