The Man in the Herringbone Hat Character Sheet

Herringbonemanconcept

Saturday mornings, I've decided, are for Herringbone concept art. This week, I'm attempting to pin down the titular character. I want him to look like something by Saul Bass with all the J.C. Leyendecker suaveness, and I'm floundering on how complicated is too complicated and what I can make abstract and what I can't and... yeah. This is my first page of attempting to figure him out. It's bigger when you download it, so you can actually see all the notes and questions I've scribbled to myself.


Critiques? Especially from you, animators?
