Here is some preliminary concept art. I didn't really know what people wanted from the characters, so Lindar and I just tossed some ideas around and this is what I have so far. Everything, including art style, is subject to critique/suggestion. I'm not used to doing cartoony type stuff, mostly realism, but obviously if it's animated we have to have some amount of simplicity. So, let me know what you think. The shading on Beta is a bit different; I don't like it as much as on Chocolate and Alpha. But that's just me.

Love it, especially chocolate. I agree that there's something that doesn't quite fit in with the Beta drawing. I'm not enough of an artist to be able to put a finger on it; it might just be that the Beta drawing looks more like a sketch and less finished that the other two.I'd like to see some more chocolate pitures please. ^_^

>>1539Been drawing too much today and I'm not quite used to the tablet yet, so my hand is cramping. I'll post some more later, though.

I like it. For some reason I had characters in mind that were more dora-the-explorer looking (i.e. short and roundish). But this looks good. two thumbs up.

>>1541That sounded like I was saying "I was expecting X... but I guess this is good too". What I meant was "I was disappointedly imagining X... but what you gave is Y (thank god) which is pretty sweet looking".
>>1542Heh, nice. I'm still going to try a few other styles and submit them for analysis, but people seem to be liking what I've done so far, so what I'm probably going to end up doing is just going with what's there and cleaning it up. I may change the body proportions a bit, not sure. Like I said, I'm new to the cartoony stuff.I won't be able to do much until later in the day, as I have class, but the feedback is very helpful, and now that I have a tablet I should be able to actually get started on this project.

Okay, here's what I'm thinking I might do instead. It's a bit more fleshed out and realistic-looking. I didn't colour it yet (obviously) because I'm not sure what people will think, but this is the general idea. My main concern is that it looks a bit too anime-ish. However, I think that if I colour it properly and if it's animated the right way, we can avoid that look and be just fine.Let me know what you think.

doesn't look bad at all, but i can't really say very much unless it's colored, maybe we get full-body drawings of both characters? i think it wouldn't be terrible to get a little influence from anime. either extreme would be less-than-optimal in my opinion - but i have no taste!
