All design sketches so far

Posting up the original versions of my designs so far, these will be scanned in, re-lined and coloured later. I have posted these up to show the comparrsion of before and after.

After researching police uniforms- particularly 19th century, I whipped up a few sketches of potential outfits that fit the old uniform. The more I looked at them, the more I didn't want my main character wearing it, it looked to 'neat' so to speak, for what I had in mind. The protagonist it set to be damn good at his job, but an absolute hassle to deal with; as can be seen from the lower half of the page I drew out a uniform, based off of slighly more modern designs. As my setting it a stylish, macabre sort of victorian era the clothes and everything else actually, will have an edgy- style.

The trousers for the uniform wwas based off of old millitary uniforms, where the thigh area of the trousers poofed out. (apologies for the poor description)

A mixture of a more focused idea of the protagonists appearance and him in situation, along with some ideas I had been throwing around in my head for how the environments would look like. The top left is just a typical street design, the top right is the exterior of the police station- the architecture will be ridiculous, to the point that it would logically be too dangerous to go near; the interiors will have a bit more care taken into account for the layout but still maintain the quirkiness I want to achieve.

Two interior environment designs of the police station, the top is the chief of police's office, the lower being the main hall. I will go into more detail on the areas when I have posted the finalized versions.







Two in-instuation concept pieces as well as the first two sketches I had drawn towards this project. The figures from left to right are an idea for a typical aristocrat, the one on the right was actually my first idea for the police officer- but when shown to a few people they thought he looked more like a prison guard or a sailor- not really my aim.

The concept pieces are of the protagonist trying to capture the antagonist in a small alleyway.
The bottom one is of the potential antagonist standing on the rooftops of London, looking down on it; the smog caused by the pollution, constantly hanging just above the buildings.

A character sheet of potenial characters and also the protagonist. Top from the left: Chief of police, 'Lady' or 'duchess', protagonist.

Middle from left: one of the victims, 'lady's' butler, mysterious woman, antagonist.

Lower down is just a few random sketched of the chief at his desk, the random thug and trying to come up with a style for the faces.
