Planes Fire and Rescue: The Chief by Aileen-Rose on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

... I was REALLY hoping I wouldn't wind up doing what I did with the first cast but... *looks at designs* I... kind of made the same mistakes like last time... again. Oi.

So, let me start by saying this: When I first did the designs for the Fire and Rescue cast all I had to work with was the pictures on the Disney Blog. There weren't decent screenshots because... Well movie was only out on theaters and not on DVD so I just worked with what I had. For Blade? I worked with this picture -> img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…

And it's not a bad picture by any means... just the lighting through me off on colors. First, take a glance at his old design:

The colors match the picture I worked with because I was eyeballing it the whole time. Now the colors here, don't. There's no traces of blues, or dark grey on his uniform. Just red, black and white. And my GOSH it looks SO much better. Seriously. This suits him more than the colors I gave him. The colors I gave him worked, but... they were just bland and that's not good.

Now that coloring is out of the way, let's look at the list of changes.

Changes:
- New colors (As I just explained.)
- New pose (And he's smiling)
- Hoists on are on.
- New patterns on uniform. (They match his paint job. Arms mimic his white underbelly and end of his tail. Chest mimics his muzzle. Legs mimic the lower end of his body. Boots mimic his propeller blades.)
- Piston Peak Air Attack patch now present on his right shoulder.

And I think that's it unless you guys spot any.

Now this is not saying I'm redoing everyone. That would take too long. I'm mainly redoing the ones where coloring got thrown off. If you want a good idea of how many, check out all the characters pictures who don't have shading. Those I do need to draw again so I can do a proper cast picture like I did with the first cast. This is not saying all are getting revamped designs like Blade here. It's only if they need it or I want to add new details.

And that's it from me... and here come the fangirls.
