Whoa, it's been quite a while since I've posted a drawing here, huh? Well that's because I've been busy with a BIG project. I've been redoing everyone's renders to get them up to my current level of quality and skill, in addition to making winter outfit renders and "bonus" outfit renders. I actually finished a few weeks ago, but I refuse to post anything without feedback first, and the friend of mine I go to for feedback was a bit busy with a magazine. Also, for the sake of fluidity and outfit comparison, I'll be reposting Hannah and Holly's default renders in this post even though I posted them before. They were the standard of quality for the rest of these renders.
So without further ado, here's lots of good shit!
-------------------------------------------------
Michael Default:
Just his normal appearance. Michael's a bit of an idiot and could be called the comic relief. He's often too happily oblivious to notice how much his stupidity annoy Austin, and he's pretty lacking in common sense and inference.
Michael Winter:
Michael puts on a big poofy grandma sweater and adds a puffy ball (a pom?) to his hat.
Michael Beach:
Michael puts on his swimtrunks are dons a floaty. He also uses a different hat, with the brim being water-colored and the top being sand-colored, so that he can go underwater and pretend to be an island.
Austin Default:
The default coat. Austin's military appearance actually has nothing to do with his background whatsoever. It just suits him, and is honestly more of a holdover from the very first interpretation of his character. Austin's the abrasive contrast of the group, and is real practical-minded with a short temper, so you could see why Michael gets on his nerves.
Austin Winter:
Austin's a bit stubborn, preferring not to err too much from his regular style. He changes his shoes and puts on a big parka.
Austin Formal:
Austin's church/formal outfit, bluejeans with a green tartan shirt. The tartan color and pattern are actually taken from an older, scrapped character.
Richard Default:
Just everyone's favorite pompadour person. Richard's the more empathetic and sensible middle-man of the group, though he can often be a bit lenient and soft when putting serious things in line, as he doesn't like to cause trouble or risk exacerbating a bad situation. He's not afraid to put his foot down in Michael and Austin's petty squabbles, though.
Richard Winter:
Some chestnut shoes, cream-colored pants, and a salmon-y sweater. Real cozy stuff, huh?
Richard Windbreaker:
A stylish red and black windbreaker with red shirt, and what Richard wears when he goes out for the night. And by that I mean probably going out to eat or see a movie with Claire.
Claire Default:
The rad gal herself. Claire's big into rollerblading and enjoys fitness. She's all for having fun, as long as it doesn't cause trouble and no one gets hurt, which usually ends up forcing Richard a bit out of his comfort zone. She's from a poor background however, and can get a bit frustrated when she doesn't understand something mentally, but she's by no means stupid.
Claire Winter:
A brown jacket with some blue jeans, and she swaps her hat for a beanie. Claire's never been big on fashion and she's pretty alright with the winter clothes she has.
Claire Athletic:
A red croptop with some baggy gym shorts. She's drawn with visible curvature here and not her other appearances because I imagine she doesn't wear tight, form-fitting shirts. Not baggy shirts necessarily, just not tight ones.
Hannah Default:
Hannah's normal preppy outfit. She's the inheritor of a vast business empire spanning oil refineries, railways, hotels, and one college, following the death of her parents in a plane crash, and she's the great granddaughter of the city founder. She's elitist and knows she's worth more than everyone around her, and she makes it very clear to the rest of our main characters, maintaining a degree of elegance even in her most spiteful and angry moments. She wasn't always so mean-spirited though, until her parents died and she just kinda got angry at the world and surrounded herself in a fortress of money.
Hannah Winter:
The most elaborate and fancy of all the winter outfits! Only the best for her. The diamond zipper really ties it all together, huh?
Hannah Sundress:
A nice simple $5000 thing to throw on for when you want to glower at those middle-class peasants on a sunny day.
Doctor Holly Default:
Holly's outfit for when she's on the job. She may look like a kid's show doctor, and she can definitely be cheery as one, but rest assured she takes her work seriously. She's a compassionate good samaritan all the way, and she loves helping people, hence her job. Her propensity for kindness something ends up with her getting stepped all over, however. She secretly enjoys rock music. Also, her eyes are drawn uniquely like that because of how much she smiles; it makes her look more cheerful and whatnot.
Doctor Holly Winter:
Her winter outfit really plays into her pre-existing adorable, doll-like aspects really well, such as the hair and blush. The orange cream gloves and undershirt color coordinate so nicely with the blue and white.
Doctor Holly Casual:
For when she's not doctoring. Less bright and more subdued than her other outfits, a small little hint at her secret regarding rock music. Note that I draw her with a visible collar here unlike many other characters, because she just doesn't look right without some sort of thing or opening on her front.
-------------------------------------------------
And that's everyone! This whole project was very good for me. Not only did it bring everyone's renders up to standard, but it taught me a lot of creative stuff, what with all the outfits I had to think of and draw. So what do y'all think? What's your favorite outfit or something?
