This guy’s tentatively named “Dmetri”.  I got inspired watching Wimbledon over the weekend.  I have a bit of a crush on Roger Federer, so I decided to model a character after him.

Dmetri’s not supposed to resemble Federer outright, hence the Russian name, which may or may not change.  Still, I want to go back and do some studies of Federer’s face.  He’s got some unusual features, and I’m interested in exploring them further… maybe not for Dmetri, after all, I don’t want them to resemble each other too much, but perhaps for future characters down the road.

Here’s a second character I’m working on for the portfolio.  I’m still experimenting with style and technique, as you can see by the sketchy pen and marker treatment.  

This is already the second revision I’ve made to this character, although the first version wasn’t worth showing off (dull as dishwater!)   I’m  planning on another pass to further exaggerate his shapes.
