Description Ok, for those who may just be joining me...I am showing my process for character creation/design (using a supporting character from my creator owned project... ).

NOTE: this is NOT the same character as in part 1

This is part 2 of the process.... click the link for part 1.
[link]

I wanted to mention in this entry that when I develop a characters look/style, etc.... I also add "character" to that character.
What I mean by that is ...personality, emotional state... you get the idea.
Sometimes I do that by just having them say a few things in a word balloon with a matching expression.
Later, I can go back and remember the idea I had for their personality by this process.

The character pictured here should come across as a sorta' dingbat with a light hearted temperament.
She would prolly would be used for comedy relief in heavy situations... if need be.
She has the potential to cause major trouble as well... just by her lack of common sense.

Anyhoo, I wanted to throw that in for this segment to show that there is more to the process than just the visual elements.

I'm sure most all of you do this same process.... it's not rocket science... but for those who may not be knowin', I hope it helps!

THANK YOU for taking a few minutes to check it out!

That's a great idea of using short lines of monologue! That's just a useful tool for understanding the character.

Why didn't I think of that!?

I understand the "personality" balloon -that's really cool!

I see pix with a "statement" & if I don't have the time to "tag" it or whatever, I tend to save it by the "statement" I have. That way when I go back to it, "BINGO" I remember what smart-alecky taggie or wallpaper etc. I was going to make. It's so cool to know that a professional does that too!

thank you for sharing your thought processes, I always find those enlightening! I like knowing the why's behind a piece.
