Assignment One - Height and Body Design

Now that I have achieved the face that I want, it was time to turn my attention to the height, which unfortunately caused me some grief!

Height Chart

I decided to go with a 6 head design, as 7 seemed far to lanky and disproportionate, and 4 seemed far to childish in design.

I also worked after that on looking at the angle of the body or "posture". This changed somewhat later on as I found that for his back story having such a shockingly bad posture made little to no sense.

Silhouette

At the end of that class, I had some spare time to work on some silhouettes, which gave me a more fair idea of how I wanted my character to look and move. This helped me exponentially with deciding that my original posture was terrible! 

Assignment One - Emotion Sheet

So, Its been a bit too long since I last updated this blog, so bare with me!
Assignment one has been very interesting, using concepts that I have learned in my classes to create my own specific character design.

One of the first requirements was to create an emotion sheet for our little characters. Originally I had designed another face to use, but decided against using it as it didn't appeal to me or my background in which I wanted to go with for the character.

Emotion Sheet

Overall I am happy with the design - It is as I imagined it, I also think the emotions are obvious enough to most people as to what expression is being posed.

I obviously need to work on my line art, as it is fairly messy!
