In this design I attempted to avoid using the continual cross design too much, as in the previous concept it made the character look too eastern and typically anime/manga.
I traded 'sharp ballistic' for 'rounded ballistic' and in many aspects generally rounded of the edges of parts of the design, even though this works in opposite to the triangle evil and circle friendly design rule.
Instead I incorporated straight edges into textures for the riot armor to compensate. This is probably the first time I've used textures in an illustration so i'm still working on how to make them look good.
I felt it important to identify fabric and material textiles, as they can be associated with certain types of clothing. For militaristic clothing, Kevlar, plastics and webbing are materials most commonly used.
Felt my drawing skills have improved as I go but my drawing perspective could do with improving.
Though I've washed the blues out like I mentioned before, typical colors that are commonly associated with riot gear and police aren't working together either, I could do with looking into color theory to improve on this. Though I think aesthetically this concept is an improvement on the last.
