Hey y'all, hope you peeps are doing well. :3
I was working on the model of my puppy cartoon character (Ricky) and I just wanted to ask for feedback, to see what everyone thinks about them.
Personally I'm not too happy with the results is what I'm saying.
On one hand I like the design on the left since it's most closest to the actual drawing of Ricky as I drew him in the comics, downside is that he looks somewhat... I dunno, grotesque? Too many sharp edges. And also, his eyes were a nightmare to work with being an oblong shape and all that and in the end (I'm sure some of you have seen the final render of him) it didn't turn out as well as I would've hoped. Heh~
The right design is a little more 'anatomically correct' and therefor easier to work with (Ignore the purple coloured ears, weird translucent eyes and semi-flat head, I was still working on that), downside is that it also looks grotesque but in a different way. His face looks more like one of those angel cherub statues that you find in churches as decoration. Know what I mean? It looks 'too' child-like and less cartoon-like. (at least to me) I do however like the way his mouth has pits (bringing his cheeks forward) and the eyes kind of look alright and adorable (and follow the shape of his head more) but the rest of how his face comes together is just... "Ew" to me, you know? His muzzle is too short and he looks a little too 'smooth' (and I'm not talking just about the smoothing going on here). I'm thinking it needs a little more personality/roughness, know what I mean?
So what I was thinking of doing is maybe just to start over again and block his face out more using more simple shapes, focusing less on the 'correctness' and 'tiny details' and more on trying to make it more expressive and aesthetically appealing whilst also trying to make it easier to work with when it comes to animating/rigging.
Still, I just want to know what you all think, what I could improve, what you would do and what I might be able to try to make it 'better'.
Sure, the feedback you give me might not fully connect with what I'm personally looking for (as you might've guessed, I already have a certain view in mind of how I plan Ricky to look) but that doesn't mean I'm not open to hear different ideas. Anything that could help me to improve my work is welcome, so don't be afraid to leave your thoughts.
