Early design for my comic book character! :o

[glowbelly]

alrighty goat...

the first suggestion i have is to quit drawing on notebook paper. i understand that these are considered preliminary sketches, but you can do the same kind of sketches in a sketchbook. that way when you present them people like me won't get distracted by blue horizontal lines.

if this is a character for a comic book, you really need to get used to drawing the same looking figure over and over again. the top representation looks frail compared to the bottom.

also, something doesn't set well with me with his wings. i'm not a wing expert by any means, but you might want to look towards nature to figure out how they should be drawn. by looking at it is now, i can't tell if his wings were recently burned or if they have been cleaned up and this is what he was left with. i'm leaning towards the latter, because the bottom skeletal part looks too clean. plus, remember that fire isn't rational. it doesn't tend to burn two objects the same. it may be more interesting to show some kind of variation between the two.

i think the figure drawing itself is fairly good. i'm not a drawing person, so it's hard for me to tell you exactly what is wrong with the figures. i definitely think that the bottom drawing is stronger than the top. i'd like to see some more shading to soften up the hard lines.

that's all i got for you now.
