I have been looking at these microscope images of blood cells and even the black and white microscope images have a glowyness about them which I really like. I think I want to try to create a style that combines a slightly cute and endearing character design, with the glowy textures of these microscope images.
I have found models of blood cells as characters with googly eyes, which I think I need to be careful of, as it is easy to just stick faces on things and call them characters... but I want to have a bit more depth to the characters then just have them look exactly as they should look normally.
My Sketches:
I hope to be able to emulate the stippled, and somewhat bright and glowy texture I used pen to colour on these character sketches. I'll see how the 3D turns out, but I am happy keeping the red blood cells with no features, and only giving the virus (who I have named Floo) and the white blood cell (who I have named Gobbler) specific features each - floo hands and eyes, and the gobbler a mouth. This way I have thought more about the composition of the characters, rather than just sticking a face and googly eyes on them.
