DESIGNS AHOY: 2009-ish exploratory sketches, pt.8!

Added 2021-08-09 13:00:08 +0000 UTC

Due to the new "M/W/F+" posting schedule, I can no longer refer to this feature as Design Tuesday; instead, I'm titling this type of post as Designs Ahoy, possibly in tribute to a certain seafaring vtuber. (Or not.)

Here are a few more of the (many) exploratory design sketches I did back circa 2009 for an ultimately abortive project related to the SSX snowboarding videogame series. At this (very) early point in said project's development, I was just playing around with various potential approaches to the game's familiar cast; the project was cancelled long before I ever figured out a final take on any of the characters.

Still, I had a surprising amount of fun playing around with varied character design work for a few weeks, which is something I'd never done on a sustained basis before (or since, TBH).

Next up today are two pages of very early sketches for big ol' male snowboarder Nate and two more pages of the notably punkier character Psymon. My initial designs for the latter were all over the map, as you can see here and will see in more detail in the next installment of Designs Ahoy, along with sketches for the final (and female) member of the SSX cast.

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: The somewhat randomized "M/W/F+" posting schedule rolls on, so who knows what the next post might be? (Alas, you won't get the full M/W/F schedule every week of the month unless you're at the $5+ tier or higher; those tiers see at least three additional Distressed Damsel posts per month.)
