Last One (well For Tumblr At Least).

Promotional Artwork for X-Key.

In this set of images I wanted to do a little more than just show off X-Key's outfits, I wanted to demonstrate how her gear effects her outward persona. In the images without her jacket and helmet we see her relaxed and carefree. While when we see her with her scarf and jacket we see her ready to explore and take on challenges. With her helmet and rifle we see her equipped for battle with a focused look in her eyes. Expressing both the character's sense of style and personality through their appearance, as well as how these aspects align and conflict is tricky.

X-Key herself is often more calm and relaxed than the vibrant colors she wears would lead you to believe. I even try to capture some element of compassion in her eyes even as I'm trying to establish toughness.

Jonathan’s brother, Jason, did the keyframes for this quick cut of X-Key on her bike. Then it was passed to me for tweening. 

Jonathan did this really quick, rough doodle but I really like it for some reason

Hey all! Sorry for not posting lately, I’ve been really busy with class and work but we’re still working on X-Key’s comic, Rebellion. The fourth issue is just about done and needs to be uploaded.

Anyway thank you so much for liking X-Key and remember to check out Rebellion at highoctanerevolution.com

Here’s some vectored ink art for a swag bag we gave out at last year’s C2E2.
