Nana character design for new book dummy project
-
4 and 6 seem to fit the character most, to me. Possibly 5.
-
I'm a fan of 1 and 3
-
Number 4 and 6 fit the description best! I think that 6 looks a little more exciting and kooky and 4 looks a little more warm and personable
-
Im leaning #4. I love these they have such a cool quality to them.
-
I love #2 but maybe a different shape to her glasses would give her a more independent feel.
-
I agree with @Sarah-LuAnn...I'm biased to choose the one that reminds me of my own grandma. (#2) I do think that #2 doesn't quite look "independent" but that may because she is looking up--like a child looking up to a parent or someone. If her eyes were focused down, I think that would totally change her personality.

-
#2 really works for me because it's that "sneaky grandma factor"... my grandma was a fairly unassuming looking woman but had a very adventurous spirit (she could instantly have a gleam in her eye... man, I miss her)... I think the character design has a possibility for a wider range of emotions/expressions... able to look unassuming but will look great with more extreme expressions.
-
...and situations. For some reason I could see that character riding a motorcycle or on water skis and in the next panel totally comfortable standing in a kitchen baking cookies. Alright, I'll stop... for now.

1 resonated with me most they are all awesome
-
I like #1, #4 and #6. Number 6 is my favorite. Seems like she fits all the traits you listed. I like #2 a lot as well but she doesn't seem like she fits the "tough" part she seems too sweet. Same with #4. I think #1 could work but would need some more fleshing out.
-
Number 6 stood out to me instantly. She is somehow more contemporary, I think - todays grandmothers are awesome
-
I love all these, but 5 holds a place in my heart, she reminds me of my great granny!
-
Idk, but I like 1 & 7. Sorry if that throws your poll off a bit
-
I like number 2 too.
-
Your character designs are just fantastic. Trying to pick a favorite here is like asking which do I like better: chocolate, or chocolate. That being said, I'm leaning toward Granny number 9. I think a fun-loving, quirky grandma would have wild, barely held-back hair. I love the accessories on 10, though. Maybe add those in to 9.
-
Simply based off of my own gandmother who also resonates with the charater's description, I like number 4 the most.
-
My favs are 6, 9 & 10 so wonderful.
-
My favorites are 2, 4 and 8. Hard choice, they all look good!

And the winner was....no 10! Actually a modified version of it, but very close.
I am now working on the first sketches, although the manuscript is still in a fluid state. I am sharing these with my agent next week, so would be more than happy to have some critique or suggestion. They are not in order: they are random pages from the book.
