LiccLicc - Kickoff

Heyho there!
.
"LiccLicc" is also a rather lightweight project. This times frame:

" VR youtube character designs, western stylisation, strong geometrical visual language"
.
This is a soothing one, balancing out the heavy weight projects that come with more complexity and a higher level of realism.

Skinning the chosen silhouettes and shapes with possible colours. A visual hooker remains missing so their tongues turned flashy. I need to decide on how long they can grow.

Double checking my colour choices and quickly looking at how they appear with varying saturation levels. It looks dangerously underdelivering, the choics I made led to a style that lives with the liveliness of the sketches. Or dies with it.
