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...

just for chuckles

took the line out of this piece...just to have the solid blocks of colour touching each other

Referee concept and final piece

i have several other ideas for the ref...but ill go with this guy for now
