Customers - Characters Concept Art Iteration 1

A silly dog customer ordering a taco

[Waxroot]

business badger, drama deer, gay frog, goth llama, and elderly possum concept characters. Was wondering if we should be making full body concepts or for the waste up. (just sketches/concept planning to do final assets w/vectors)

Feedback for A silly dog customer ordering a taco By Emily Tran https://github.com/GDACollab/TacoCat/issues/14#issuecomment-1402826540

Hi!:D I love the color palate and outfit you went with for this, and would love to see more of the Silly Dog. I think something to keep in mind is that I hope to have the art in this game be lineless - so it might be good to experiment with this character again but without the outlines. I'd love to see more of the dog though, they're so character✨

Feedback for: Badger by Collette Harrison https://github.com/GDACollab/TacoCat/issues/14#issuecomment-1404184521

This guy strongly reminds me of the badger from the Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I think that's great✨ However - I think it'll be best to try and distance this character from him a tad bit - with the color palate or maybe a change in his outfit. I really like the toothy grin though, and that might be fun to keep around. Also, a front-view concept of the character's face might be useful.

-

Feedback for: Deer

Same as the Badger that having a front-view concept of the face would be useful to have, and I think something to experiment on is the antlers. Using a reference of deer antlers could help you to better know where the prongs go - to help you build a stylized version of them for the final concepts. It also might be good to note that the story takes place in a warm location ( some area of California most likely ) so it might be good to give the deer an outfit better suited for warmer weather, but that's up to you

Feedback for: Frog

I really like this frog

-

Feedback for: Sheep

This design- I love this sheep✨ I think something to add though, is more of her - she's currently a bust, but having her arms and lower torso could help with conceptualizing her a bit more.

-

Feedback for: Possum

This is a very interesting design, and I like how it helps add a bit more diversity in the ages of the customers. I'm curious on how this character will develop. It might be interesting to experiment with some other clothes colors/darker hues

-

Overall Feedback:

I like the stylization of the eyes, and how you color the whites/add a small slit into the pupils. The cell shading/lineless art is looking pretty good so far. I think the shading/airbrushing colors add a lot to the pieces, but could be done a bit neater with a designated direction where the light source is from. That could help you to make the airbrushing a bit more consistent across pieces. Overall though - these concepts are very promising✨ and I'd love to see more of your work in the future:)

These are some sketches of customer designs. I was looking for feedback on their silhouettes and some ideas for color palettes.

• Badger: gold watch? emphasize rich feel
• Deer: needs a front facing view
• Frog: very cute
• Sheep: needs fluff on back of ears, clothing not too clear; may need more of the torso
• Opossum: cute outfit, could use a small satchel, maybe baby opossum on the back

• Moth: more arms would be nice, could be sleepier

https://github.com/GDACollab/TacoCat/issues/14#issuecomment-1405773379

• Lion: bigger mane, more stylized fur
• Kid Croc: make him noticeably short and hold onto the window of the truck
• Hippie Goat: more relaxed eyelids would be nice
• Old Pelican: could use some lines under the eyes to signify age, could use a larger beak to look more like a pelican

Overall Thoughts: Could have more

• giraffes
• banana slugs
• birds
• more variety
