Tyler Character Concepts

Here's the designs for the character Tyler. This is a character who is going to be very defined by his personality and childlike nature. I started trying to make the character look younger but the younger look doesn't seem to match up very well with Logan's look. I want the two characters to be the same age so I threw in some facial hair and glasses in some to make him look a little older. My only concern is that having two characters with glasses and facial hair might be a little much.

I like the longer hair designs because it makes him look more like what I picture in my head when I think of a 22 year old artist. Ironically I'm a 22 year old artist and I'm bald.... I think if I made the glasses sunglasses instead of regular glasses and have them only be in certain strips the balance might work a little better..... we'll see

Logan Finalized

I ended up settling on the design with the chin hair and glasses. The more I sketched the more this felt natural for the character. I think the 5 o'clock shadow looks interesting in the final copy as well so I'm going to keep that.

Right now I'm thinking that the comic is going to be in black and white with a few grayscale patterns like in Logan's hair. I'm also thinking about changing Logan's name to James with Logan as his last name. James Logan or Logan James, both seem to have a nice ring to it.

Logan Character Concepts

Here's some of the concepts I'm considering for the look of Logan, one of the two main characters in my new comic strip I'm working on. He's heavily based on a sketch I did of myself in a special strip for my other comic, Fish out of Water. Right now I'm heavily leaning towards the Bottom Left and the Top Middle. I really like the look of the 5 o'clock shadow for the hair and the chin hair. I'm still rather undecided on the glasses though. One of the two main characters will have glasses so I might wait till I sketch out the other character to see which is more fitting.
