Hips That Don't Lie!





Part One of my Epic Final Project for Character Design class. Still mostly a WIP but pretty much Ahimsa here is getting two model sheets, one for his figure (top) and one for his maquette design (middle), plus his pose and emotion study sheet. This is as far as I've gotten in the past five and a half hours timed by watching the first two discs of Lost Season 3. I'll more that likely start sketching out his emotions before bed and pick the ones I like best.

Of course I'm going to break Nolan's brain again just because the best way to to indicate Ahimsa's prettiness as a chibi is to amp up his femininity to the max with his crazy girl hips and JLo rear. Of course it doesn't help that he's in pink. But of course his whole thing is bright fun colors, bold graphic patterns, and a hearty dose of Eurotrash. Mostly his point is when people see him walk by they go 'AUGH MY EYES!!!' because of all the clashing colors and his neuclear levels of estrogen that just radiate for ten miles. This is the sort of fun I get to have with him is the contrast and antithesis of the man he grows up to be who's all rules, regulations, nursing a deeply broken heart, and more issues than the Wall Street Journal, however as a teen he's absolutely a Pretty Pretty Princess. :3

Thanks Dianna! :3 Yeah he's a boy. XD Nolan and I were discussing rather loudly that Nolan was CONVINCED he was a girl until I showed him the character in a more realistic style and he was all 'SEE. THAT'S A DOOD.' Like your Nightcrawler hat I think he's the FIRST person that looked at Ahimsa and was able to tell despite his girl hips and wasp waist he was a dood. LOLZ.
