Locksmith project

This character is a whimsical version of "The Locksmith" in my Viz Dev class at SJSU. The back-story: He's a jazz lover from his old days, but had to stop playing when he lost his arm in Vietnam. I tried to space out his proportions to keep his body from having "the ladder" (even) effect, and I tried to cluster the features in the face to keep the interest there, and repeated the triangle shapes in his vest/hat to frame his face. Next up I'm going to turn him and get a lot more poses out (the ones I've done thus far are pretty similar and don't work as well). He also needs to look more like a locksmith, but I don't just want to tack on props...
