2D character design

2D character design using generic female animation turnaround characters found on line - both outline and 3D.
I've placed them as a layer in photoshop and then added a neon paint effect outline over the top.

My 2D character will be a 'neon cowgirl'...here's the completed neon outlines....

New layers added, each with a new neon effect to build up glow. Legs, arms, head, hat, torso etc all on individual layers.....

The beginnings of the costume design....including stylised hair which should be good for 3D modelling!

Gun holster and lasso next!

Wacom Intuos graphics tablet !

Well I've had my first experience of using a Wacom Intuos graphics tablet....
The depth of stroke and sensitivity towards the line I wanted to create was brilliant...
It was the equivalent of using an electric 0.3 propelling pencil, which converted into 0.9 thickness.... with the slightest of pressure.


Some tests for 2D characters
Played with different neon colours and outer glow settings....
