Alien angel

I created a character - an alien angel. I tried to convey the lightness and positivity of the character. I tried to convey different textures and lighting. The backpack adds modernity, and the costume does not interfere with movement to perform various tasks!
I also tried to make a small animation with bones.

Thank you for watching! Please write your comment so I can improve my skills!

Aww, this character is adorable! Love the expression and the design!

If I had any feedback to offer, it would just be that it feels almost more like a cute robot design than an alien. I think it’s the shape of the head mostly. Things feel just a little boxy, if that makes sense?

Still, it’s very charming! Would love see this fellow on more adventures. Hope that helps a little :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for your feedback! :blush:
I decided to make a non-standard shape and for some reason it turned out to be like a square. That’s probably why it looks like a robot.:grin:

Hi!

I love your process for this design; the amount of thought and effort you put into this is not simply visible, but reads through very strongly.

I’d suggest to approach your sketches from a broader lens: there is some very interesting shape choices in your character. The curves of the winds, the round kneecaps, the blocky eyes… On their own, they’re super engaging, but (to me) they do not form a coherent picture well. It seems that the lack of stability/repetition throughout the design is what creates that disharmony; I think that if, for example, the joints on the kneecaps would be mirrored in the shoulders/elbows, or the blockier design of the head and torso to influence the shape of the winds, then it would be a more coherent design overall.

However, that’s just my unprofessional perspective on this (I am no character designer myself tbh), and I think you’ve done a wonderful job on the texturing, it fells almost out-of-the-box, toy-like! Would buy hehe :heart:
