Hey Folks
I've just finished my entry to the super goat character design contest Hosted by
and minnowbooster.
The challenge: We had to come up with a brand new design for Super Goat :-)
So naturally I was drawn to this one.
So let me Introduce him.
- He's not your text book super hero.
- Hes the Protector of Minnows, eater of daisy's and breaker of hard things.
- His horns are harder then steel, muscles ripplier than umm muscles.. and eyes so fiery they are actually on fire.
- He's SuperGoat!!
So a bit about the process. First up a timelapse gif showing a visual breakdown of how I created Super Goat.
I began with a pencil sketch and played about with various ideas, initially I had sketched a classic super hero character battling a giant whale. It was a fun idea but I felt it went beyond the character design challenge .
So I transitioned my focus to Super Goat him self. I sketched up this design, using various bits of reference as a guide from goats to Wolverine and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.
You will notice I roughly blocked in the colour and tone before building up a graphic fur style. Keep an eye on his cigar, while I questioned the use of the cigar with our contest host, I decided to switch out to a daisy flower, just a little more goaty :-D
Have to say the trickiest part of this image had been the metallic horns.... I think i repainted them 4 times.
Version 4 of the horns.
Then refined plus bonus flower ;-)
I painted this in PaintStormStudio a cheap but powerful painting app, and used Krita for the Logo work which is a free "photoshop".
Thats how I designed a new SuperGoat, thanks for viewing.
