Nickelodeon Final Colour

Here are the final colours for the characters. I am quite pleased with how they turned out.

Here is my new lollipop character. I am not quite sure what to do with him yet, but I like him.

Earliest Idea Doodles

Here are some of my earliest idea doodles. They are pretty self-explanatory, so I won't go into the details here. Enjoy!

Colour

These were the original colours I thought. A lot of classic characters, Goofy for example, are black. I wanted to give the Tall Guy blue feet like a bird. I didn't really like how this turned out, it lacks colour, I may also be construed as a bit racist.
Here was my second pass at colour. I had a set of twelve coloured pens to work from. Generally, the little guy is much lighter shades and the tall guy is much darker shades. This, I felt reflects their differing personalities more.
These are the final two colour choices. I like the first one, but I am a bit afraid the the little guy looks too much like a frog.
I like the little guy in this drawing, you do not get many orange characters. I don't really like the colour of the Tall Guy though.

Continuing Character Designs

Here are some more experiments i trying to find there personalities. I have given the Tall Guy a vest with pockets so he can put in his hands them. i saw Rodney do this a lot on Only Fools and I thought I should give it to him.
The Little Guy's hat maybe a bit big though. Here are some drawings to show how the little one is overconfident and a show-off and the tall one is nervous. How the little one uses him.
Of course how the ladies react to them is a big difference in their personalities.

This is trying to go Tex Avery extreme with them.

The Little Guy- Earliest Designs

Here are some drawings of the character currently known as the Little Guy. Originally, I designed this character around Christmastime last year as an idea for my final third year film. I decided to use him now as I thought he fit. Actually, if you look back at
daryl-rhystaylor.blogspot.com
you can see the original designs and how it had altered to this point. Originally in the design, I thought it would be funny to have a character with no legs, hands or eyes. For a while it seemed to work, however it did put restrictions on the poses and expressions he could make. To make him more Tex Avery like, and because the lack of eyes creep some people out, I decided to add eyes, hands and legs in. These are some experiments to see how that would work.

I wanted to get that cocky Delboy, could charm anyone attitude into him, so I thought about given him Delboy's hat. Most of these poses are mimicking Del.
