Portfolio Building-
Character Design Challenge-
Biker Part 2
After doing the mouth and nose, I wanted to do him glasses and piercings. The glasses are made of wire fitted to his head. Then I painted the wire black and added very small pieces of plastic to the backs for the glass. Then tinted them black too to add to the overall look of the character. This was very fiddly but ended up really bringing him to life as he was just a blank face before they were added.
I then added small curves of metal around his ears as piercings on his right ear which matched his nose. For the top of his head I wanted to do lumpy wool. Instead of trying to attach fabric to the plasticine, I tried making a plasticine version of balled up pieces pushed together and textured to match. This really worked well so I will also do this for the body as it helps make him fully look like a sheep.
After figuring out the head worked well, I added a tank top version to his chest to add to his character of a big biker sheep wearing tattered clothing. This is why his belly button is showing under the wool, as if it is rolling up. After adding this to him a felt jacket was needed so I cut a piece of fabric to size.
After getting it right, I dyed the fabric black as it was brown and didn't look right. The black shows him more as a biker. As it was dyed I was also able to get it shaped so when dry it had a collar.
So this is the biker character I have submitted to the competition and shows he is a biker sheet who is a tough guy from the old American gangs.
