I label these Nouveau Sketches, because these designs were started with the idea of finalizing them in a style similar to the Art Nouveau posts by Alphonse Mucha. I did a test of that style for picture around the time I started these sketches (around Halloween I believe) and found it a fun, interesting style. So I decided to dedicate these designs to an exploration of that style.
My idea is that these could be used in an animation/game where the characters are rendered int that specific style, complete with the soft, interior colouring and thicker, defining outlines that would separate them from the more painterly backgrounds.
I have more to do up for these though, including of course some nice final renders, which I hope to get up soon. The two characters found here are named McBride and Roland.
All the characters from this particular series are based after animals, and have recently been based around some folk stories and fables as well. McBride is based around a mouse and Roland is based after a lion. This was originally random choice until I remembered the fable of the Lion and the Mouse, so in a way, they're tailored to fit similar roles to that story.
