AstroBall 3 player line up - size comparison


3 teams in this league:

- The Meteors
-The Quasars
-The Tri-Stars

Meteor Wide Receiver - final concept

Quasar Quarterback - final version



tried to get this guy to look lean but athletic....to counteract the broader silhouettes of the other players...

Tri-Star LineBacker REVISED version


this was the second version of the linebacker....i just slimmed his egg shaped body a bit...

Tri-Star LineBacker - first version


this was the initial version that i came up with...At the last minute, i did some changes with his body shape...

early Tri-Star and Meteor team studies


some early attempts to figure out the design style of AstroBall

football sketch study


silhouettes are important in figure sketching.....

football sketch study


more life drawn poses ....

football sketch study


poses to study how football players grapple and aggressively move...

football sketch study


reference drawings to get a feel for football movements and poses...stuck the rocketpack on there for design reasons

astro ball - helmet study


trying to get a feel for how the space helmet will look on the players....inspiration from classic sci fi like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon

football sketch studies


these sketches were done to get a feel for football...football players need to look padded but mobile...
