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!

Well this reminds me of a concept artist in Pixar that places the characters of the film in various situations to show the character's personality through that moment( moments that don't appear on the script).

That artist was me bro!
Pixar... good times... good times.







Just kidding!
It's cool they do that though!
It is important to have your characters live in the moment you put them in.

PatCarlucci In reply to KidNotorious [2007-11-14 19:23:59 +0000 UTC]

Word up Kid!
I just do it because I hardly develop anything in one sitting.
I usually take weeks, months or years to develop my own characters.... so I tend to forget the original idea I had.
This just helps me remember better.

PatCarlucci In reply to eddthemonkey [2007-11-14 19:18:09 +0000 UTC]

Not really sure, Jason.
I guess when the character from my 1st post is ready to be drawn in the book.
That could be the next entry or many more....
I guess we will find out.
Hope ya stick around for it!
Cheers!

ArtofJoshLyman [2007-11-14 18:56:16 +0000 UTC]

i dig it bro. At first she gave off the vindictive b**** attitude, and now she kinda reminds me of the Melody type character from Josie and the Pussycats (NOT the movie). What would be even scarier is that she's clueless that she is that gothicus chick when she gets really cranky.

Lol just messing. I like how her eyes are larger now to signify a bit of vapidness, and how she filled out a bit in some areas while thinning up in others. Good all around development.
