Tribute to GTA: Toni C.





Some linework with basic ink, values and color quick render. 

Rockstar videogames have amazing Character design (writtten and visual materials and methods) that I find very inspiring. 

A hero/protagonist that has to behave so badly must lose some bolts on the path of his career. Here the developpers had visually translated Toni's crazy shticks, like wearing Bruce Lee Game of death costume (not represented here) for a swordfight based mission, the wiseguy costume out of Goodfellas or even the Lawyer one. Here is a quick selection amongst the outfits available that I found original or simply uncanny or witty.  

One of my favourite version of GTA III is LCS with its taxis (and hilarious overall soundtrack), the story, the type of missions, the improved gameplay which were great storytelling feats.
