Dougie's Dig

Here's just a timing test for a digging style i've had a bash at...i could have done alot more to/with it, but i decided im not a fan of this technique, it needs to be more absurd...or un-orthodox....its probably compressed wrong knowing me and computers...take a gander anywho; love x

Idea of having really thin scrauny legs, big ('nobbley') knees, high tight little shorts (work-man esq.) highlighting a funny, soft appeal for Dougie...

More ideas based on previous image...

Really like the head...

Do to DOUGIE's mechanical look (not robot) i want my sets/locations/scenery/props, to all have this stylized look, ie Nuts and bolts/pin-rivets for the out housing of Foreman's Hut, House, etc...Shovel, made up of bolts/scrap metal things like that

The top right of the image, there's more of the head that im after, more stylized. Flick of 'hair' which could also be the peak of a hard hat, mixed into one, (influenced by Comiskey) with ridges again, acting as stylized hair/hard hat...

Here's the frist couple of character designs i did, wanted the 'mechanical' stylized look showing visible joints as he's a hard working 'tradesman' esq figure.

Testing, testing 1,2,3
