Character Design Commission
A commission from a friend of mine for his social media (Millennial Academy on YouTube/ Tiktok and Millennial Academy Productions on Instagram). The main focus was that he wanted the group to be very diverse and showcase his stance on topics.
Sketch (diverse body types)
He specifically wanted each one to showcase different groups that he aligns his values with.
The line up
line up with the looks
positions
characters in positions
linework
silhouette
Some color blocking and simple shade on "goon" characters
He wanted diverse skin tones, so I color blocked with different tones on each character.
Other colors and basic shade. Each character is given their own base color.
Tried out a couple different text colors, ultimately black/ white was the most legible
Background Sketch. His specific idea was a group of diverse people banded together within a forest. At this point the characters were so busy looking but he needed the forest scene for his idea.

Finished piece. The white is a transparent because he plans to use this for a shirt.
