Character designs...

[Kentaro]

Ok so I've been working on my Manga project since a few days and so far I came up with a theme and some character designs. I still don't know what role will they play and I can change their appearance/name anytime. Both works are just reached the basic coloring stage, I will add a few things when I'm done but I'm posting the unfinished ones because I dunno if I'll have the will to finish them, coloring is such a pain ;/ Anyway. Here they are, comment flame, feel free to post anything.

# 1

This one is called (for now) "Bismark" and he's a mechanic:



# 2

As for this one I drew it just today and haven't thought much about a name, "Kid", "Odin", "Loki" seem like good names to me:




I may redo all of it anyway.

PS: The background will be added at the end.

The second one reminds me of a guy named " Colin "

Looks nice dude I missed you this week :O

[daroth]

Bismark is missing his left hand :O!

[Proxzor]

Bismark is missing his left hand :O!

No he isnt

[Runahs]

Bismark looks real nice man, good job.

[Simei]

I really like your style, awesome

[Kn7ghT]

Don't use well known mythology names for characters. Find a less known one.
Also give #2 a goatee and call him Shaun.

[Proxzor]

I think I'll name my characters however I like ;p I wanna use mythological name on purpose , because my character would slightly, minimally resemble the apropriate "god" with his personality since I don't want to use "empty" names which hold no meaning for me.
@Proxzor

Oh, I thought you were talking about some fictional character ;p

Nopes :P

[Kentaro]

dont call him a kid and stop flaming each others LOL
Well he has spikey hair and stuff but i prefer Kentaro's version.
They might have some things in common (slightly) but well its not a rip-off in my opinion. I even like Bismar(c)k? more and yea i dont like Bleach
The second one looks awesome but i dont know why ure characters have to smoke cigarettes but well its ure idea and stuff.
one of my critics is that i found the coloring in the first one a bit weird. but well u mentioned that u hate it and stuff.
keep up the good work

I have no other words for a person who tells me that my style is a rip off from Bleach, I feel very offended when comeone says something like that because that is complete bullshit. Everything I draw is completely MY style and even if it resembles someone else's work that's just pure coincidence. The cigarettes, yeah I also noticed that, I just like to draw them and now it became my habit, personally I think it looks cool. As for the #1 coloring, it's just the first/basic layer of colors too see which would fit best and I'm gonna add a shitload more color levels + shadows + light so I can assure you that when/if I finish this piece it'll look completely different. At the moment I'm coloring the 2nd one, it should be done today (tomorrow if I get lazy). Anyway thanks for the constructive comment.

i like the style, its fresh, if you kept the colors like that and kept shadows to a minimum you could have something really good on your hands.

as for the bleach and the rip references, i think you kids should lay off the pot, if anything, he looks like a badassed up chrono, and spikey hair has been around way longer than bleach.

also, don't forget you need a woman with big boobs to appeal to a larger audience and add in there a pimp ass storyline.

[TLM]

Hold up gays, I said "reminds me" of that ginger freak.

Nothing about ripping off bleach lol.

[Proxzor]

Hey, I can point out two characters in Bleach that have all those differences, but it's still the same style. If you're too blind to notice the style, then that's your own problem oh silly one.

Seriously grow up

[Rokurosv]

I like the second one. Very good work Ken.

[Kentaro]

I really like the perspective on #2. They're both great, but the eye on Bismark seems kind of off to me.

Yeah I know the eye is a bit too far from the nose. I might change it later but it doesn't really bother me.


EDIT: Finished coloring # 2
