One sock or two?

**Reilly** · June 29th, 2005, 06:18 PM

Hey guys, I need some feedback here. I'm trying to design this character and I think I know what she should look like for the most part (except for color, I've got to play around with the color), but I can't deside if she should wear one legging or two?
Any other feedback I also welcome, of coarse, but that's just what I'm looking to figure out right now.

Thanks!

One Stocking!

One stocking, and then some kind of leg armor on her right (our left) leg, to match what you have going on with her right arm. Makes sense from a practical standpoint for the side closest to your opponent to be fully armored. On the other hand... character design doesn't need to be practical, now does it?

Also: whatever you do with the colors... leave the purple skull on her top. I dig it.

what if it's two stocking, but not the same, to go with the mixed notion with the rest of her character. like, if you want a difference, play with color, if you want to show the leg, you could do one thats fishnet, or one of them kinda pulled down to the ankle.

just throwing out other ideas for you, i think that either looks fine, and that it's a solid concept

Short Answer: One...

Long Answer:

So... after all that shes just going to cover up her legs and show off everything else? It doesn't match up with the rest of the concept, need to ditch it completely, or jazz it up.

Cool image, will check when finished. Why not just give her half a mechanical leg. That way, she could be proud to show of the rest of her body and her special limb? then again..

I thinI kind of like the 1-legging better because it sort of mimics the armored arm.
Since it was suggested I made one with no leggings--

I actually think that looks pretty good. What do you guys say?

aye ! A definete improvement, now what about that arm armor... I'm kidding, but it would of been nice to be able to show it off more, perhaps on the other arm.

**Reilly** · June 30th, 2005, 06:12 PM

Yeah, I probably should have drawn her from the other angle so I could show more of the armor. Maybe I'll have to draw another one!

Really like your character concept!
yes, the one legging is the better choice.
The other leg looks sorta bare though, so if you wanted to you could add a couple bands around the upper thigh (or even a metal one similiar to the one on the right arm); and for the right leg add a strap or two hooking onto the stocking.
The colors are really working well with the picture too. If you wanted to fancy it up, you could add a golden stitched pattern to the cloth, and match it with a similar simple design to her top.

Just some ideas!

Thanks for all the imput, guys. Now I'm working on coming up with a good color scheme. I started a new thread for it here-- http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...162#post523162
So check it out and let me know what you think!
