2015 EG Revised Model Constructions & Clean lines of Judy & Hosea. Plus, cleaned & colored expressive pose





Basically as the title says. Tried cleaning up the style (I really need to work on my line weight...) and pushing the tapering. The bottom expressive pose is from one I did earlier when exploring the style and I thought it was humorous so I wanted to see what it'd look like inked and colored. I also thought it gave a nice visual of Hosea's and Judy's relationship.

Playing a bit more with the design and the main two characters of the short (Hosea & Judy). I pushed exaggerating the proportions a bit more, pushed it more on the "shapey" side, and tried to figure out how to simplify the designs even more than the original simplified design than my usual style (example the head drawn above). I liked the result for both Judy & Hosea and was hoping to hear some feedback if I'm on the right track.

Left in roughs/silhouettes for correction purposes.

EG Story Summary
The story follows the private investigator of the name Hosea which is hired by two benefactors (Mr. Mane and Lady Pride) to work with Judy, an elusive thief, to steal an item from a police evidence ward. In the beginning of the scene, it reveals Judy and Hosea performing their heist and successfully stealing the said item they were hired to retrieve, however their escape doesn’t go as smoothly. Judy and Hosea desperately try to outrun the police, though they are rescued by their benefactors in another vehicle. From there, a car chase takes place and the characters try desperately anything and everything to get the police thrown off their trail. Their desperation soon leads them to driving their own getaway vehicle off a bridge lift and into a body of water below.

OUTLINE:

Judy and Hosea decide how to break into the police evidence ward by a coin flip.

Judy and Hosea go through the ventilation shaft to sneak into the evidence ward, but are interrupted by the air vent breaking. They then knock out a police officer as they head into the evidence ward.

Judy accidently sets off the alarm when she breaks one of the evidence cages. Hosea and Judy rush out of the police station, soon after chased after the police.

They are sent off on a car chase, trying to lose the police officers. As they do so, Mister Mane demonstrates the power of the “useless” buttons on the dashboard, successfully warding off some of the police officers. After, when there is a remaining few, they have trouble shaking them. Mr. Mane then instructs Lady Pride to head to the lift bridge as an incoming boat approaches it and the bridge is starting to lift. He instructs her to drive the car toward it since he has a button to assist them in jumping it.

Mr. Mane then presses himself against the door to see how many officers are left, but the door swings open, throwing Mr. Mane out. Hosea rushes over to catch Mr. Mane, however he drags Judy along with him since (they’re still handcuffed). Lady Pride keeps speeding toward the bridge, desperately requesting what button she needs to press when the time comes.

Hosea and Judy struggle to bring Mr. Mane back into the vehicle, though a cop pulls tight onto their tail. Mr. Mane wards them off by tossing confetti at the officer’s windshield which sends him off spinning into the other direction. Slowly Judy and Hosea drag back Mr. Mane into the vehicle, but the sudden jolt of incline send them flying into the back of the vehicle.

Lady Pride cries out for help, the officers cease in their chase as Hosea’s, Judy’s, Mr. Mane’s, and Lady Pride’s vehicle races up the bridge. Mr. Mane struggles under Judy and Hosea. As he does so, he instructs Lady Pride to drive off the bridge—he’s got a button for it. Preparing to do so, Lady Pride presses the gas pedal as hard as she can. Hosea meanwhile grabs Mr. Mane and tosses him to the front of the vehicle. From there, Mr. Mane climbs to the shotgun seat, straps in and announces to brace for impact.

Lady Pride drives off the bridge to the body of water below, Mr. Mane hits a button, and Hosea and Judy brace themselves. Their vehicle’s bottom inflates a flotation raft. They successfully survive the impact and sail off down the river.

As they sail, Judy, Hosea, Lady Pride, and Mr. Mane catch their breaths. After, Hosea looks out the window, ending with continuing the monologue that he stated in the beginning.
