johnzsigo Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 A friend asked me to do a graphic for his Barbershop Quartet called "Four Aces" and this is what I came up with on the first attempt. Comments and Suggestions are welcome. The idea is the suits came from the cards that lay and stand in the background (that's the reason why the cards are missing their center suit graphic). http://www.wideopenwest.com/~johnjzsigo/Fo...1804%20crop.bmp --John Zsigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalbotski Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 That's fun! Nice idea. They look at little stoned, though. Or just very tired. Maybe that's part of their image? Thanks for sharing your work, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biotron2000 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Nice work, johnzsigo! Any plans to animate to one of their songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 18, 2004 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 18, 2004 I like the bodies. How about tapering the legs so they are thinner near the top? This would be stronger "design-wise" , more flexible in animation, and reduce the visual conflict of them not being actually attached to the body.

johnzsigo Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions... I agree with the comment on the stoned look... they don't look like they have much energy. I'll also change the legs to make them a bit thinner on the tops to see the difference it makes. Currently there's no plans to do an animation with them. --john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnArtbox Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi John fun image. Part of the staticness of the characters is the fact that all the character's bodies are perfectly straight. Twisting their bodies off centre would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganthofer Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 John You might set the hats a little lower, they feel like they're floating. Maybe try moving the hat to one side on the Heart and angled. Might have to tilt everyones hat then to balance it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzsigo Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Ok, I will try out those suggestions too... thanks everyone! --john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
