Today I started doing character design with tony and the first task of the day was bring put into groups and talking about properties of body language, the emotion I was assigned with was sorrow.
This would have a character with their head down, slumped shoulders bent posture to name a few vital features that would represent this. Unfortunately I as having issues with my pen and was unable to draw a charter to represent this and I will need to attempt it another time.
Then I was tasked with creating silhouettes for character designs my first attempt came put like this.
Although it is a little rough with some split edges it is a pretty basic design and could be easily used, once I had done this I was then tasked with creating 10 more designs and playing around a bit more with different features and shapes.
Although most of them ended up a bit smaller that I realized I tried to add different bits of variation per model this is things ranging from head shape, body shape/size arm and leg length.
A lot of them have mismatched limbs but this can be altered in a newer design once one has been chosenb continue on with.
I like the squared off shoulders of my 4th design and the elongated head and ears of my first, the body and limbs how ever, I am still pretty indecisive on which direction to take with these as smaller is easier to balance out but at the same time I don’t think they would fit well with the long head and broad shoulders.
