Description
An updated design for a character I've played around with, on and off, for quite a while. His name is Gregory, he is an inventor, and it seems that he has much better things to do than brush his hair.Related content

Have I mentioned that I love twitchy pasty scientists? What is in his hair?! Are those electronical probes going into his brain? If they are I bet he put them there himself.

Hahaah kinda reminds me of the tim burton 1982 animated short character "Vincient". A kid who thought he was a mad scientist who eventually went mad and died of a heart attack. Anyways this is good. 10/10

Vincent was nice when his aunt came to see him,
But imagined dipping her in wax for his wax museum...

Faved! Can I sign up as his henchmen? I make a very good cup of coffee.

Hmmm... yes.
Just for god's sake whatever you do don't fall asleep in his lab. You'd wake up with an extra limb or something.
if you were lucky.

...well, apparantly half of that coffee is going to be for *me*. Whee!

aw, thankee! I'm really glad you like it, specially as your designs are always so beautifully... pulled together, just understated enough.
Hee, yes, the band-aid. Gregory... tends to have at least one somewhere. Because his personal trainer is a killer robot.
It seemed like a good idea at the blueprint stage!

That's awesome. Love how the floor is all pencil-sketchy and his expression and stance.

agagaa I love his hair! >.< I would hug him but I'm afraid of being stabbed by his hair pins...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, don't worry, they don't come out. They're in there... pretty deep.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THAT IS SO OMINOUS. Just gonna throw that out there. Perhaps the pins hold his head together? hmm >.>

Much better things... such as knit it.
He's neat! His jacket is a bit.. you know... straight. X) And that seems weirdly appropriate.

yeah! it looks like it's got a whalebone spine in it like those old Princess dresses used to have. those things are scary.

who honestly has time to brush their hair these days?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course he has better things to do than brush his hair.
He has to stick pins in his hair with that time.
(PS, I gotta ask: What material do you use that make your drawings so nice? It looks like pencil to me, but considering how dark the darks are, it makes me suspect that you've got another technique going on. Also, what technique do you use to scan/scanner do you use? I think I might want to invest in whatever you're using.)

I cheet. ^___^ I drew this one with 2b pencil on sketch paper, but after I scan I play with the levels to make the blacks blacker, put in another multiply layer, and paint all the bits i want to be dark with a middling grey. There's actually two different greys in this- darker for his clothes and hair, lighter for his goggles and around his eyes.

Ooh, you should make a tutorial for that. I'm terrible when it comes to messing with levels.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I pretty much get the pencil art in photoshop, open the Levels palette, and drag the middle slider to the right until it looks dark enough, bearing in mind the multiply layer will make it darker.

Nooooooooo... not yet.
dA isn't supposed to know about the wonders of Gregory Grey yet Dx
I'm in the process of finding as similar of a jacket as I can, before I result to having to make one.
Then I was going to take pictures of me dressed like him.
I love him, and I wanted to surprise people/you with my fanatic obsessions towards a still somewhat lesser-known character xP
at any rate, Gregory is amazing and both this picture and the "unamused" picture make me very very happy inside.

omg if you do that i would kill for pictures!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if I wind up finding/making the jacket, and then actually doing this... I will DEFFINATELY show you some photos.
That was the plan from the beginning.

d'awwwwww... no, you're the awesome one.
I'm just a weirdo who's in love with your characters xP
but chyeaahhh.. seriously !

neep!
i am awed you like 'im so much when I hardly have put up anything about him!
(proper grammar? what's that?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I tend to become instantly curious about your new character designs... and when I saw these ones I just couldn't get enough of them... and with the stringy black hair, and fashionable outfit... I just couldn't resist. I knew if I got the right coat and messed my hair up, I could atleast attempt to pull off bringing him to life in silly pictures.
He's just a really awesome character design, and I can't wait to find out more about him. You're very mysterious with the amount of information you release about any specific thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heehee. 'information i release'
you make it sound like i am a top secret international woman of mysterious mystery.
*hand fu*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you pretty much are xP
Everytime you create something, and show it to dA, you only give out little bit of information at a time. We get a small sense of who the character is, and his emotions and stuff, but we're left wondering... what is this person's world like, who are it's enemies, what is this person trying to accomplish, and then I get soooooo interested in the character/story.
You, miss, are a character tease !
haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm sorry! you should know that that is because i am usually afraid to info-dump, in case i fail to finish things- you know there's so much stuff i never finish. D8
but i do have a lot worked out about him. ^___^ maybe this time...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I sure hope so !
*crosses fingers*

WOW!
Sheesh, Halley, I want you to teach me how to make awesome character designs. D: Seriously, I love your characters so much! As for this guy, I went SQUEE when I saw him. X> I love his expression and unsure pose, and the little notes you wrote made me smile.
Lovely! IS HE EVIL? 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
he isn't, for once!
he makes the guy who is look normal in comparison.

I've gotta say he's adorable. Also, use of Oingo Boingo in title = WIN.
