Secret Agent Character Study

Secret Agent Character Study

Secret Agent Man! I worked on this character study for the Secret Agent CG Society Challenge.

I am trying to incorporate scene elements and some amount of narrative to the sketches. This one is the first time I made a conscious effort to add a story. The next few days of sketches will, pardon the pun, illustrate that.


This speedpaint is basically the equivalent of a sketch but in painting form. I am fairly fond of the speed painting. I tried to imply a plastic nature to the character, after all his face is one of many that the character can take. They are masks, he/she can wear many. Very much a robot or android.

I am having trouble re-envisioning the whole scene for the Secret Agent image. My first attempt at the environment sketch was far from… well… good. I am rethinking the scene. I like the character idea, but need to come up with a more dynamic demonstration of the character.

So the original scene was of the secret agent coming home into a penthouse like home, one whole wall of faces/masks. In the foreground was a lady sitting legs crossed, in a very nice chair, reaching into a hand bag. All we really see of her is legs, arm and purse.

Now I am thinking more of the character in his retro roadster, the roadster is transforming from one style to another, and his face about to be changed over. A helicopter or other vehicle in chase. High energy, tons of motion, could be a really cool scene.

I'd go with a J. Edgar Hoover surrounded by old files, incriminating photos, ladies' shoes, glass of scotch, wearing lingerie, hairy legs, motel room, brown paper bag, vibrating bed, etc.

Check out some of my Mindzle-inspired drawing! Or I'll go public.

You can use it, or maybe a Book Depository... what's his name... the name escapes me... JFK shooter...

You know I love mutual admiration societies.

Michael Jackson inspired?

perhaps subconsciously . . .

Norm, you are thinking of Lee Harvey Oswald. I might use the idea. Need to do some sketches...

Morgan, possibly, though I doubt it never thought much of the King of Pop. More likely Humphry Bogart, or any of the old rat packers.
