I have a lot of characters with darker-toned hair &#8211; including the character Geissler is meant to foil &#8211; which is another reason why I wanted to explore a potential redesign. So, here I tried adding more color to him. In the image at the top of the post, I brought back some of that monochrome aspect, by darkening his hair and subduing the color contrast &#8211; which I&#8217;m not sure whether I like yet or not. Hopefully seeing it here on the blog will help me with deciding which fits him best!<\/p>\n<p>Looking at him now, I sort of lean toward going with the lighter\/redder tones.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6575 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web.png 1280w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web-1024x662.png 1024w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch2-web-1140x737.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6578'>\n\t\t\t\tBefore adding color.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch1-web.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch1-web.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch1-web.png 900w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch1-web-300x239.png 300w, https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025.03.11-landylachs-geissler-designs-sketch1-web-768x611.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6579'>\n\t\t\t\tThumbnail concepts.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to try some different designs for Geissler for a while &#8211; here&#8217;s a recent attempt!
