Description
I decided to take a break after the last attempt, and subsequently put together a bunch of small, simple silhouettes. I don't like any of them. I see some potential in two at most, and the rest is awful. I don't think they were a waste of time, though. I forced myself to experiment, and putting the idea down where I can come back to it later is good. I tried to go with a more rounded, sleek design, then one where the stray wires and gangly outline were dominant, and even tried to make something resembling the outline of a businessman. I had a vague idea of what I wanted this character to represent, and what I want their appearance to symbolize, and even a few awful sketches can help finalize that thought. In the end, it was the suit-looking design that did it: I wanted something clearly mechanical, making a poor attempt at looking human; not on the scale of the overall silhouette, but in the details. I wanted something that was simultaneously falling apart and growing, torn into pieces and pulled together, organic and metal. The two bottom sketches are the result.
