Semester 2 Crit Feedback.

Feedback from crit made me think that I may be trying to throw too much into my characters without a proper framework. Though they were happy I was looking at different areas and expanding my boundaries, it didn't seem to fit well with my characters. I seem to be jumping into the modelling too fast, so I've been told to step back a bit. I have been focusing on making the same 3 characters work from the beginning  so it would be better for me to start fresh instead of trying to constantly adapt the previous characters to new designs. My exploration into Angelic Hierarchy doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so I'm thinking of just dropping it completely. 

The current characters have become difficult to read, with too many different influences making them difficult to identify as a group. This is a result of trying to merge everything together without a proper structure. The colours are the only thing unifying the characters together, however, the shape and silhouette, materials, forms and other influences don't seem to have much consistency with them.

I am going to start fresh with a new group, simplifying things to make them easily readable. I'll need to clean up my framework as well. It will revolve around developing a group identity, specifying specific traits, and then reinforcing those traits through consistent criteria, both individually and as a group, such as form, silhouette, clothing or weapons.
