The Secret Garden

Well, Sayed has his very own game, his own blog, and now he's got an anime! That's right, every drop of juicy detailed horror that is Sayed will be making that long awaited transition into the realm of the 2D. Of course, this is "The Secret Garden beta" so I'll be making tweaks as I go, based on your feedback!

=== Be gentle on the criticism, guys. I won't do anything that's of the calibre you see in mangas, since all of this has to be done while keeping the graphics simple enough for animation. Plus, I drew everything with my bloody mouse, so spare a little consideration, would ya? ===

First guy i did was Jeffrey. In the beginning I threw all of my anatomy (and most of my common sense) out the window. The end result was that the jaw ended up too curved and we had ourselves a female Jeffrey. Being the doofus that I was, I decided to put some musculature on it, desperately trying to dab a little manliness here and there.

Of course, the curvature just got wider. Great. Now Jeffrey still looks like a girl. Only chubbier. I decided to redo the facial layer and this is the end product:


Well, any suggestions on this end would be nice. So far this is Jeffrey v1.0 beta. I'm kinda takin' a liking to him so I might stay with this. (50 points to whoever can read what's at the top of his bandana!)



Next up was supposed to be Ean, but since the heathen chopped off his locks and ruined any hope of diversity my anime had, I decided to butcher him and do Sayed and Kay first. Now, Kay ended up having not one, not two, but three versions. Each more evil than the last. Okay, okay, the first one was botched, the second one (which I'll show in a bit) is one that I'm sticking to, and the third is her cute oh-so-kawai (whatever the hell that means) anime version. Which will make an appearance right after this scene:


Ahaha... Kay looks like she's going to rape sayed or something. How cute. =3
You two play nice, ya hear? *wink*

Anyway, I can honestly say that both Sayed and Kay were bloody hard to draw compared to Jeffrey. Kay because I couldn't pencil in exactly what form I should give her (without her biting my head off later),and Sayed because... he's Sayed. Turning him into a cartoon is a dangerous and forbidden task. The hooked nose didn't help much, either.



Hmmm... For SH, I decided to look back to the avvie I put up back in my old blog for inspiration. And I of course came up with this cute lil' bugger:

And as for me, well, I was supposed to be in that scene with him, but I haven't gotten round to finishing it yet so you all can bitch and moan all you want. I'm taking my sweet precious time.

PS: Sayed, I've drawn you with sunglasses to remind you of our deal. Wear them one hour each day, or it's dreadlocks time!
