Silhouette studies of Fis

After doing a set of exercises with Josh involving, speed painting and character development I decided I needed to do some studies while working on the story concept I’ve been developing. So to help me develop the characters that will surround my main story I began the first in a series of silhouette studies. This particular set is designed to explore different divisions of the standing armed forces for the City of Fis, a major location in the Story. The goal of these studies is to find ways to create visual consistency across all the characters because they are in the same army. Visual consistency for each group of characters that also differentiates them from the other groups. And of course, develop each characters individuality while still having them stand out of there group.
