Character Design

Based on feedback recieved from my crit week presentation i have begun to think about the main essence for my honours project, the finished artifact. My finished piece should be around a 2 minute long animation showing a character and its development of performance shown through a personality arc.

To begin.

What causes personality arcs?

A shy character, ashamed of their appearance.

A lonely character, the way he is from events in his childhood. Lots of small failures and loss of confidence result in a depressed person devoid of hope.

Brain's Advice!
Just draw and see what comes out!

A man who tries to change who he is to please a woman but it turns out that instead of doing it for her he does it for himself.

A blinded man, depressed and given up on hope, is given a guide dog that gives him both independance and a loyal companion.

A tiger, born different from the others, feels left out and insecure about themselves. Perhaps born a strange colour or with an allergy to meat.
