Casey Carroll-Boyle's Art: Johnny Tin-Can

Over the summer we were given the assignment of designing a cyborg sci-fi character for a video game. The character I came up with is Johnny Tin-Can, a cyborg Goblin scrapper. Most of my Earlier designs were drawn in Mischief and Photoshop was used for the main painting and model planes.

AAAAAUUUUUGHHHHH-I'm kidding I'm fine

I am Locutus of Borg

Laser eyes and robot ear

Asymmetrical ears and a hammer-jaw

After doing some rough head sketches to get a feel for the character I decided to come up with some designs for hair as Goblins are a rather eccentric people.

Mohawk, Fringe, Messy and Quiff.

I came up with body designs for Johnny after deciding on the type of face I wanted to use. I went with Goggles and hair as well as with a robotic ear.

The different concepts of Johnny. I was exploring different pieces of clothing and accessories but keeping with his general points such as his bikini top, spiked hair and shorts

After all of the concept work I went into Photoshop to paint up a render of Johnny.

Painted Tin-Can in his bikinied glory. I decided to change his belt from just a simple buckle to something that can actually function and help him with his work. His belt contains a particle shield generator and a short-range teleporter.

WHen the painting was finished I started on the views I needed in order to do the 3D modelling.
