Sky Blazers! Core Characters
The Manufactor / "God Killer". More erudite than one might expect, experienced in rapidly assembling automotives in robotics-aided studios; now focused on drones and mining equipment.
Our heroic captain and materials scientist who got the whole thing going; neutral A-pose. Contrasting but even color; I like black here. Hair needs a little work.
The scryer. Analyst who "listens" to mineral content in a booth not too different from a Venusian equivalent of a radio fishbowl; also handles communications.
Bioengineer. This guy's a fungiponics and biomics wizard, managing a bioreactor designed to fully self-sustain itself, and the rest of the colony. I gave him an earthy color scheme. (No less than four passes to compose this guy; but I like the result.)
The bioengineer's line art, mostly for porting to Toonz for fine adjustments.
My current project, tentatively named "Sky Blazers!"
It's a dual cartoon and game; game is coming to Steam, cartoon is coming to TBD.
I'm getting serious about my art again, and using a combination of Blender, Toonz, and some good ol' FFMPEG because roots-up developers like me love us a terminal... Some of this, though, has actually been hand-drawn and scanned in. It's an exciting new experience for me.
There's a lot bleeding into this from earlier designs, and a lot of new material to complement it. Stay tuned.
