New character concept / design site

So, I happened to check out the preview of Volume 4 from 3DJoes and saw some artwork I had never seen before.

I contacted RCM on Facebook and thanked him for finding the artwork. He told me of a conversation where it had been 'decided' this character's name was 'Bobber', since the artwork was from the GIJOE fishing kit.

Anyway, since I'm always looking for artwork to come up with new unexplored characters, this fit the bill.

So here is Bobber.

Based on this artwork.

Haven't come up with a bio, other than possibly linking to a recent from the vault post I saw about a guy named David Breger, who created a Sunday comic strip that used the GIJOE name.

Someone posted on Facebook last night some pictures of a GIJOE product not many people were aware of. It was a toolbox using the same design of the fishing kit I referenced in my last post.

Anyway, I was happy to discover another new character in the box artwork.

So, using Hero Machine, I quickly banged out this Unnamed GIJOE Mechanic.

So, is 'Toolbox' a good name for this one?

Another of my original characters:

Leadfoot, Infantry/Light Machine Gunner

Since the plan was to make a character with a smaller frame, I realized I can slightly alter this one and make Sgt Misha.

Also Dan Klingensmith Jr. posted a sketch Ron Rudat had made for him, of his character, that you may have seen. I tried to be as faithful to the sketch as possible, and attempt a HM version of 'Vault'...

And inspiration hit after seeing a listing for DVD sets of the TV show China Beach. As of now, an unnamed GIJOE nurse...

With everyone posting artwork for unproduced characters, I figured I'd try two of them..

I took a look at the carrying case I received last weekend and noticed the trooper riding a small scooter, so had to make whip one up.

That's a Professor X hover chair stretched onto a tank, with a mech turret and two shoulder launchers stretched out. Her hair has one piece on the front, with two different ones morphed behind her head to give it depth and volume. Neat little trick I discovered.

Updating a previous post.

I didn't realize there were animal heads available, so I've gone back and redone Shark Arms...

Much happier with this version.

And now for some more Dreadnoks hierarchy, the femme fatale, Zarana...
