Just the compiled collection of a bunch of drawings from the past few days. I wanted to see how they all looked together (you know, make sure their colors, shapes and sizes work as a group).
Soooo much character in these...uh...these characters. I'm transported back to the classic Saturday morning cartoons from the Disney block (when they actually hand-animated things) like DuckTales or Warner Bros. in its heyday of the late 90's/early 2000's--you've got a similarly great cadre of heroes and baddies here.
My own personal thoughts are about the lemur woman on the bottom left--I'll echo someone else's critique in saying that she looks like she forgot her pants and is quite miffed about it. Also, the gator guard, while very obviously lovable looking, appears to be a sort of "one-off" character. I can see most of these people as a recurring member of the cast, but the gator doesn't seem like he belongs there. At least in the long run.
Those nitpicks aside, these are colorful, emotive, endearing and--probably most delightful for me personally--very inspiring. Awesome awesome work.
This would be a difficult piece to critique as a whole, so I'll critique it's collective parts instead. Row 1, # 1: SuperRooster; This would most likely be a leading protaginist in the story, but he could also be the heroic foil to a lesser (at the time) hero, who is struggling to get up to the top and admires him. Possibly Cocky. (I am so sorry, but I had to put that pun in.) Superpower: strength, flight, super-voice Row 1, # 2, SnipeOtter (?); Perhaps the intended protaginist in the above scenario. Maybe clumsy, and somewhat akward. Superpower: Accuracy Row 1, #3, Cheetahman; Good design, and a perfect candidate for the friend of the Rooster. Superpower: Speed and Agility (duh.) Row 1, #4, Lone Wolf: a definite Anti-Hero. Superpower: I dunno, Wolf powers. Row 1, #5, Some fat kid in spandex. Probably has no powers anyway. Possible friends with the otter. Row 1, #6, Goaticus: A goat with supernatural powers. Row 2, #1, Clawdious Rex: Standard Corporate villian. Row 2, #2, Guerilla Warfare (same name used by Two-for-flinching, sorry but it works.) Ammunition powers, most likely works under a larger power as the main bodyguard. Row 2, # 3 and 4, The Stink brothers: Bumbling fools with Stench-Powers Row 2, #5, Clawdine: The Femme Fatale Superspy Temptress etc. Row 3, #1, Robo-Shark, I'd love to see this villian in a real comic. He just looks like a fantastic character to work with. Row 4, #2, Dr. Pigfarious: Classic Supergenius Row 4, #3, Ox-Tane (like Octane): Another brutish character who would probably be SnipeOtter's big break. Row 4, #4, Sly the Wolf: A necromancer wolf, possible relation (say, cousin) to Lone Wolf. Row 5, #1 Laura Lemur: She's the love interest, no bones about it. Row 5, #2, Steve the Alligator: Derp. Pure, lovable Derp. Row 5, #3, Wolfington the Third: rich eccentric who's also related to the other wolves. Row 5, #4, General Ruffington: Might not like the idea of Heroes, but does thank them for dealing with the Villians Row 6, #5, Sam the Champ: Either Laura's partner or Rival.
In total, this could be a very successful webcomic or comic book series. All the characters have charm, finisse, and charisma, and would be easily recocnisable. And that is how to make characters. Good work!
A lot of the little details really make this a pleasure to look over. Particularly the hiding behind the back of the bomb for the Bomba Bull or the pushed-up nose for Roboshark. Brilliantly thought out and realized.
