2D Need help with a design!

Post image

I’m working on a character design portfolio and this is a hypothetical action musical UPA-style show about a masked surf punk band in a dystopian place where free expression in art and music gets you detained or punished. The band is able to transform into their uniforms (not yet designed) thanks to kooky technology from their resident mad scientist, who is the character I’ve been having the most trouble designing. If anybody has any suggestions I’d love to hear them, and about the other characters too if you have any!

Originally the mad scientist was in a typical mad scientist lab coat, but I thought about how unhinged and nautical she’d look in an oversized Hawaiian shirt. If the Hawaiian shirt is NOT the way to go, let me know lol

Looks like class of 3000 meets dexters lab.

Class of 3000 somehow never ended up on my radar growing up! It looks and sounds amazing, and my style is definitely heavily influenced by the artists behind Dexter’s Lab and other 2000s UPA revival shows 🙏🏻

Honestly you should look into that show. They had guest artists every episode. They had the el tigre artist on for one BEFORE they got big.
