Character design I like

Why?

              

       

Character design like this is something that strikes me as being very interesting and powerful. What I mean by this is that the character has a certain presence about it which makes it pop from the page and makes the design very interesting to look at. Although no colour has been added textures of different clothing and objects can be identified because of the detail and shading that has gone into designing the character. The composition of the character as a whole is well thought out and shows a female archer character looking like she is preparing to fight with bow in hand as her opposing hand reaches around her back for what suggests to be an arrow. 

I love how the body is twisted and the eyes are focused elsewhere rather than straight forward, this is a very complex and difficult form of character design which if done properly makes the character look very dynamic and interesting. The demean of the character is also strong with this piece as we can tell that she is a gritty and strong character just from her expression and the way that she stands.

What I can learn from this

Well what I can learn from this design is that not all character design has to be flat and face on. Dynamic design helps the character come to life and helps us visualise the demean and the personality of the character purely from the aesthetic. I am going to take a look back at the process and production workshop that I did with Jay on dynamic character design, I feel that this will help me push my dynamic mind forward and help me gather a better understanding on how I want to try and get better at drawing these. I am also going to look at some different methods on how character design is created to see which one suits me the best.
