Apply - Male Character Design Development

Using the sketches i came up with multiple designs for the male character with variations on the head shape, body shape and clothes style.

This first one incorporates the style of the shoes and the simplified version of the clothes, removing the excessive amounts of pockets and extra bags leaving only a simplified version of the back pack.

I tried to make this one more square in shape to counter act the softer rounder shape of the woman but its head looks way to square and the legs are too puffy.
















Too much detail on the jaw but something doesn't look nice or right about it. the waist is too small and tight.



















Redrew with stubble and straighter lines overall but looked too frail
















Gave the character slightly broader body shape and tried to make the character rounded like the female character but this made him more princey and not as strong, very unlike an army man.

















Went with a very broad design but this was a poor design as he looked to domineering and powerful which didn't fit the sad scene i was trying to show.




















Took the princey design and straightened out the lines creating a strong shape but still looking vulnerable of someone who is fresh to war.
