Dirty Sketch

Above is a dirty colored pencil sketch of the protagonists from my developing Sci-fi story, Rogue Wave. The story was summarized in the previous blog post. I still need work with the character designs (making her look older and tweaking her hair--bangs or no bangs?--and making him look more...human? Lol. ) This particular sci-fi world/universe is suppose to look like a 1940's version of sci-fi. Signy's outfit in this drawing obviously doesn't exude 1940's but I do have outfits more loyal to that fashion. But the boy's outfit clearly is not, so I'm trying to design a sort of hybrid of modern and 40's vintage fashion. We'll see!
