INTERN CHARACTER FAZE 3

Still on my character design grind! Ive just been reworking looks and expressions. The whole design concept is just cartoony! i think i hit the mark with the geeky nerd! But the female intern look. I had PROblems reworking her.! I had used some refrence on google for the blonde model. Orginally it was going to be the Monica intern. I used her trademark blue dress. i change the character from brunett to blonde. I hope my client is pleased! Well i gotta get back to my character design. Im working on character design for my portfolio! Post art soooon!

and old love haunts meeeee!

Hmmmm i was going threw my old portfolio case from college and i was looking at some of my pieces that i drew from some of my drawing classes/ graphic art courses. I stumble upon a character that i use to doodle called TEKNO! She was this weird tecky computer hacker that use to do stuff in this imaginery city i created! i drew a small story bout her but i trashed it! anywho i came across this drawing i drew for a fun plus i used it for a class project!
The character came about when iwas in my industrial music/ cyber punk days ! plus the booom when i was watching alot of batman beyond! here is a the character from 2000! i also drew her seven plus years later! yikes!
geeez where does the time go!
