Still playing with the character textures to see what I like best for Metal Heads. Reworked this fat character to a slightly different genre to see if the style was going to work. I’m thinking I’m almost there. Lucky for me the Metal Heads team now consists of 2 designer/artists, will be getting more feed back than just my own ADD brain. Probably going to to keep the team at 2 until we find a programmer we like. Trying to keep this project small and semi quite, but I figure showing some concept work wont hurt, maybe even spark some interest, so tonight I have 2 images.

I spent an hour or two tonight dicking around with a texture on a character, and found that the more I added the less I liked. I’m thinking I might model out all the character designs I have in this simple basic color texture with some detailed areas (shoes and arm tat in this case). Tomorrow I might actually open up body paint and take a different approach, but for now these flat colors feel much more fitting to my master plan. Metal Heads is the title of this small project I personally have started, while we wrap up the design doc and character rig for Stage 4.

Here is a glimpse at what I threw together as a test the other night.
