Description
This is a "case study" so you can see what its like to be a character designer on a TV show. This is an incidental character from the bible based show I'm working on called "Superbook". In the script, the story called for a "dancing girl" (obviously, a temptress) for a short scene. I did the one on the far left first. Over a few months (and while I was doing other stuff too), I would get notes on things to tweak on her as different directors/executives/production people would put in their two cents. In the end, someone said, "Oh, and she should be greek so we need a completely new version (I kept the face and general body shape though)! These things happen and I can't complain too much because I like BOTH of the last two versions so at least she's not ruined. This will now go off and get modeled by a CG animation house in China, then back to me for notes. All for a small character in one show. Still, worth it.
