Character Design

Image: It is a sink in a laundry room. Sketch: I made a sink man where is head is sort of the bowl and nozzle part of the sink. Theory My characters name is Lain. Short for porcelain.  it is a platformer. where he needs to climb up a valley sort of like donkey kong.  physical: He is made of porcelain so he is more durable then other glasslike creatures but weaker then those made of steel. He is strong enough to go on the journey but must be careful because he can still crack. his sink nozel up top is very important, he can collect water or any liquid (like acid), and shoot it back at enemies.  sociological; Due to his durability he is middle class. but as new age technology grew his race began  to die out. everyone wants a steel sink. so he he is rare and has been in hiding. to preserve what is left of the porcelain. which gives him his desire to see the world and leave home. psychological : he knows he is strong type of tile so he is a bit reckless with his destinat...

 Inspiration My inspiration was a view from my plane window at night. I was looking out the window the whole time and kept seeing “characters” so I took a picture.  Sketches  I don’t remember what I originally saw in the picture but looking at it again I kept seeing some sort of bird head so I went from there. I  kept the traditional bird beak but wanted to make it a cyclops, I added those lizard neck wing things as well because I thought it fit his vibe. His name is is also Clarence because i like the name. I also did a winged version to kinda resemble a Pegasus or a griffin. And a profile version as well so he looked studious.  theory Physical : physically Clarence is small probably the size of a medium dog. But his tálenle are very sharp along with his beak. His wings allow for fast flight but his shape is not arrow dynamic so it slows him down. His lizard neck beard is used to scare his enemies.  sociological: he comes from a land full of mythical creat...

 inspiration I found paint and smooshed it together on a piece of paper kind of like the psychotherapy sheets. i did it a couple times till I got this one. sketch this is frog man. he lives in frogington. his head shape is from the paint and I kind of just based the rest of off the paint. I Used two different head heights so it kind of looks like an adult and a kid.

 Inspiration I chose this bouquet of flowers(not sure what kind) I thought they were very pretty. I couldn't help but think of different floral clothing designs and jewelry. I was thinking more of a civilization that uses flowers as clothing. I used both the top view of the flowers to make designs as well as petal shape.  Sketch The character I made was suppose to be like a queen of this flower land. She is wearing a dress modeled after petals as well as a belt of flowers around her waist. the crown also happens to be a giant flower with little flowers going around it. she also is wearing flower earrings as well as a chocker.   The trope I want to use is the princess that needs to be married to be queen. If i were to subvert it i could have the princess go along with this idea of finding a husband for majority of the story and then for the big plot change she could step down and go to a life of simplicity. if i were to double subvert it i could have her abandon the c...

Inspiration  I chose this image because of the bushes lined along the side. I found the textures interesting as well as the different shapes cut into them.  I was specifically drawn to the bush in the front because I thought it looked like a person.  The second I saw the image (which I took on vacation so it is still my own) I saw a person with a headpiece and a dress. So I wanted to explore that and see what I could come up with. I saw a couple of things. a cool texture for clothes being one. The other is a kind of fuzzy head shape. so the character could be kind of fuzzy or prickly. Sketches I drew a character named Oakley. I used the bush texture and shape to make a formal dress. I also designed the charter so that his body is like the stem/sticks of the bush and his clothes are more like the leaves. I also made a little vine crown.  Theory  I think the characters should be super strong. they are very thin and seem frail do to their skinniness but if they hav...

                                                   Inspiration   I chose this kind of psychedelic tapestry. I focused on one of the mushrooms. both its shape and its design. I was thinking more in a universe where the are fighting in the elements. So ponchos and beanies and futuristic technology.   I found the patterns and shapes interesting and thought I could do a lot with it. at first I was thinking it was shaped like a ghost and it could be a race of like psychedelic spirits but then I started focusing on clothes.                                                                 sketches The character i created is from a futuristic city. She is essentially a gatherer and has to fa...
