503 - Initial Character Sketches

Ceylin was having trouble with the character design, so I helped out by doing some intial character face sketches:




The main aspect I was trying to communicate with these initial sketches was the plain, innocent aesthetic. I was focusing a lot on what the hair and face shape would be like with these, and found the fringe and bob worked very well, as well as long straight hair. For face shapes, I think either a long oval face or a squat rounded face works best.

As a group, we decided to spend some time on the character together by drawing live on MagmaStudio. This is the document from it:

We did a lot of iterations together, but we settled on the design with the red arrow pointing at it, and the one to the left of that. I liked both of these, but preferred the one to the left, as she looked plainer and less likely to go psychotic. Ceylin made a good point about how we still needed her to be slightly pretty as she needs to appeal to the Creep, so we decided to go with that design but make her prettier.

I then left Kahenyha and Ceylin to develop this further.
