Research into Character Design
Seeing as my last module was about character design, here is 10 artist's character designs. Which I have written a little bit about and I mean a little tiny bit.... I'm getting year one research write up flashbacks right now... 'Ah does it ever end!'
I feel bad for not giving jurist to these great works of art, but it when ever I have to think about explaining about why I like something my mind goes blank.... I'm getting the flash back feeling. Any who I will keep updating this post every time I get the power to write and explain stuff..... Ah SORRY * Hides in a dark corner*
UPDATE - Well I finally getting around to finishing this see as I been given a hell load more research to do and now I must get it done ^_^;
Jambonbon - James D Wilson
The picture below was a submission to Pictoplasma's Missing Link Research Project. It was an open-call project in which people were asked to submit their impression of what a Yeti might look like. The character is organic with it soft lines and shapes. I like how texture was created and how relaxed the character looks. I find it interesting that he put branches as ear for his character it help give a more organic feel to his work.

Mark Gmehling
Works with Cinema 4D for around 10 years and specialized in character design, animation and rigging. His character designs feel like liquid and flow really beautifully into shapes. I love the amount of detail that went into the character and how little colour was used that it piece the piece striking.
An illustration that Lebureau did for the splash page of sound designer David Kamp. In it you can see a sort of alter ego of David, a furry musical beast sitting in a world of his own. I like the freedom of the work and imagination that flows from it.
Diana creates paper sculptures of mainly birds. I like her work because it looks super realistic, like they just fly away, yet it all simple lines and colours. Also love how the background black and how that seems to make the character pop out even more so that if it was on a white background.
I love how this character made up of shapes, and the simple use of shading using shape gives the character depth and also like that this piece was created on wood.
The Essence of Bunny for Pictoplasma (April 11, 2006, France) A submission for Pictoplasma's call for entries to draw the essence of the bunny. I like the simpleness of the picture and it sharp colours in shades of blue.
I like how colourful the art is and the shine of the character face. I really like the strong colours and contrast of the piece.
I really like how this character draws your eye with it's strong red colour and big shiny teeth. Also that it appears to be growing out from all angles.
A Halloween house treasure map, in Collaboration with Studio Anorak. I really love these shiny character by Flowers and like that that he used flat colour and added depth with white which also makes them look shiny.
Zeutch
Zeutch busy artwork with loads of characters on one piece, I find really interesting to look at, there a lot to look at and I'm always find something new that I missed before. I love black and white and the strong contrast it has in this piece, with it detailed patterns.
