What's sloppy about it? I'm actually worried that I can't see what you've done wrong. D:

Would you be horribly offended if I tried making him in 3D?

Turnarounds... one of the reasons why I'm IN college right now. And the degree.

I should try to do one of these turnaround thingies too sometimes. Looks like it could help to improve... but meh. xD
Also, I have to say, that's a pretty cool cat. I like its pear-like anatomy.

someone could make a gif out of that so it rotates haha :3
Or someone could 3D model it now.

It's only been three years since I was in college, but I haven't done a turnaround since then, either.

Cool. I never thought about doing turntable like pieces like this. Good idea for concept. I should try this. Thanks!

You should definitely try it!
It's a good way to learn how to draw your character from different angles. Plus, if other people are drawing your character and need a guide on how the character will look at a certain angle, the character turnaround sheet will give them a good idea on how to draw and animate the character from different angles.

Well yeah I figured. I never really thought of it as a research thing. I kind of just assumed most artists kind of worked out how their characters looked from all sides in their head. But putting it on paper seems to be the best thing to do. I see turntables in 3D stuff all the time. I just never really thought about applying it to 2D.

Man...what i wouldnt give to be able to do turnarounds so flawlessly!

its always so good to see a turnaround .
And this is a very nice character.

This looks awesome! Part of me wants to just go ahead and draw other characters to fit in that "WW1" idea that someone posted earlier. I've already got an image in my head of a dog that represents the Americans and a fox that represents the Germans. Just need animals to go with Austria-Hungary, Russia, France and Italy...

Ah, okay. Thanks. I've seen his blog before, now that I see it. He's good.

Very impressive
Reminds me of the 1st opening of Bleach with the camera spinning around Ichigo Kurosaki. Wonder if the concept would work the same with 10 frames at 25fps, each frame being .03 seconds.

I love that you stlll angle the ears and goggles on the profile in order to prevent the character from being flat. Although I like them all, I'm partial to the 3/4 rear because it makes the lil guy look more curious rather than slightly shocked. Also, as slight as it is, it has the widest head and ears (which means it's cuter, right?)
Great stuff, as always, Sibsy! I'm looking forward to more!

Nice turn around here.
The ones that I do are often for 3D, so they are treated differently. One trick that I found out is to overdo the guides (lines that help you construct the next view) or, make the turn animated in photoshop. It is a heck of an extra work, but depending on the complexity of the character, it might be necessary. (and a good exercise to weaken my spatial dislexya)

you should totally make more of him its great it reminds me of blinx

Turnsarounds are very tough. Yours isn't sloppy at all!~

very nice, and so simple too. its amazing how simple shapes make a neat drawing, i love it

I don't think it's sloppy. It's still very good. I love the line work and expressions especially.
