2.0 Bob Design

1 Like This

So this only took me forever and a day to finish.  :P My last blog entry was asking for opinions so I could redesign the 2.0 pitch's Bob and Dot, which I started on right away- but the very next night something unknown struck me and I was pretty horribly sick.  So it's taken me a bit to get back into the swing of things. 


I realize  the 2.0 pitch is pretty much dead in the water at this point anyway, but I was determined to follow through, dernit.  XD; So, here it is, with further explanation to follow.

 



I know, I know- he looks a little too young.  I think it's an issue of his jawline, which I didn't figure out until it was far too late.  u.u Apologies for that inaccuracy~


Anyway, about the outfit: I scrapped a few ideas, but it's pretty similar to what I was planning out in my last entry.  Basically, it's a "prison uniform" sort of outfit, that's meant as a way for the Serenity OS to label whomever it deems a threat to the system.  Dot would be wearing something similar.  This way, the characters can be discredited and generally shunned in the way I think the pitch writers originally intended... but without the extreme of turning them into gorillas and little girls.  :D


I guess it's important to mention that before Bob starts to rebel against the OS, he'd be wearing his spiffy white uniform.  There's a bunch of great fanart examples of that already up in the viewer.  X3


One of the things I was originally going to do was inscribe a warning label of sorts on his chest.  I ended up throwing out that idea, but Rek also had this cool idea of a circle of yellow text floating around their center of gravity.  So I do have an alternate version showing that.  It's essentially just a beam of light; their arms and whatever other objects could pass through it without problem.  I'm really not sure which version I like better. 


So, there you have it. Feel free to critique or give suggestions, but bear in mind at this point there's not much I'm really going to do about it. XD;

    As much as I love to see 2.0 getting some attention (even if it's not from the TEAM), you've drawn Bob as a woman. Look at those hips! ;o

    Square the jaw a bit, give him a male nose (the protrusion should start mid-eye line), and narrow his hips and he'll be back on track.

    I like the glowing lines on the boots, though. But why are his kneecap guards on his shins?

    I know I fail at male anatomy. This is not news to me. u.u It's something I've been trying to work on. Thanks for the suggestions.

    The kneepads are adjusted just because I felt like it? I thought having boots up to the knees looked odd on this design, so I turned them into shinguards. ::shrug:: It's a detail that could be changed if it really bothers people that much... and if I really cared enough to do this again. :P

    cool design !

    Especially the alternate version, I like all the bright/holographic elements (boots, veins, text-circle) ... sort of cyberpunkish.

    I like it, but more as a design for a teenage Bob. It does actually remind me of the designs for Enzo, you could easily see this young sprite being in that same age group
