Sketch-A-Day: Drezzer Redesign Thoughts [artwork]

[the_gneech]

Today's sketch is a brainstorm on redesign thoughts for everybody's favorite gay British wolf photographer. Drezzer's look was inspired by two major things: first was a sketch of Spiked Punch done by Herbie, and second was George Harrison. And while I've always been fairly pleased with the end result, it does have a few rough spots that could stand revisiting, especially when moving to the larger canvas of the comic page.



The original idea behind the floppy ears was just a way to give him a bit of a distinctive look. This time around, I took a little inspiration from Don Karnage and just had the tips folded over, instead of the whole ear bent in half.

What do you think? :)

I don't have much to add to what's already been said. He does have a more wolfish look to him. I think the way you've redrawn his cheek ruffs is one of the things that makes a difference. Not having his ears so floppy also makes a difference.

The changes are subtle, which is good, since it's still clearly Drezzer. His personality, also, still comes shining through, as you said, happy and comfortable with himself. Very nice job.
