Helmet Sketches

While I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things, I thought I'd post some sketches and other things of interest to keep you guys entertained. So, here's a page of helmet sketches I did for Gary's coworkers around the office. You'll notice that I picked each of Gary's three cubemates from it.

I wanted to use helmets that hinted at each of the character's traits. Boar's helmet has excessive spikes to match his over-the-top violence, and face slits that give a dull expression to go with the fact that he never says much. I picked Lenny's helmet because it looked like it was smiling a big, cheesy smile -- so big that it couldn't be trusted. And finally, I wanted Eric's helmet to be plain like Gary's since he's similar to Gary in that he really doesn't have any obvious quirks like the other cubemates. He's one of the few "sane" people in the office.

You also may notice that I used a modified version of one of the helmets for the "Abyssal Account" guy. I had to make it look a little meaner.

More to come later...
