Filler: Character Height Sketch #1

on Oct. 8, 2008

This is something I realized I needed to have done a long time ago and started on a couple of weeks ago. I'm leaving it in rough format for two reasons:
1. It's neat to show how things look on my sketch pad before I clean them up so much for the final product
2. I'm at work and needed to figure out how I could scan things in with limited tools.

At any rate, I had never bothered to do a cast height lineup until recently where the actual planned cast became regulars. Up until this point, Skull Girl was dealing with a various amount of assorted average people who I wouldn't need to draw beyond that job – with the exception of Devil Girl (the others who started to appear you should already be familiar with).

So – if you notice any height inconsistencies, it's my own fault for being lazy. But I'm setting things right now!

The line up is going to be done in order of appearance. Skull Girl, Skiv, High Voltage and Mr. Evil all appeared before anyone else.

I also created a little height calculation and can now give out approximate characters heights accordingly:
Skull Girl: 5ft, 3 in (or 162 cm)
Skiv: 5ft, 6 in (or 170 cm)
High Voltage: 6 ft, 2 in (or 188 cm)
Mr. Evil: 8ft, 2 in (or 248 cm)

Interesting Notes:
Skiv is my height, and that was totally unplanned. He's also a little stockier now, which I kind of like and will probably keep as it makes him more 'thuggish'.
High Voltage's Hair is a foot tall when electrified.
Mr. Evil's hands are huge, and surprisingly enough I drew them about right for the close-up when he gives her ice-cream. He was also the biggest pain in the butt to draw in the line-up because he's so inhuman in his proportions.
