Character Design

"Character design is a combination of physical trails and narrative"

Narrative/storyline defines personality, gives  context (genre, location, setting) there for has to feed into look and design of the character.

the face is the primary channel to express emotion. (-a reason for the many large headed character. A lot can be said with posture and body language - this allows personality that to be identifiable in silhouette.

Solarski - states that how a character carries their physical weight can tell us about their personality - which body part they lead with is important
Hero- leads with their chest

Pelvis-Laid back/Lazy

Head- Intelligent

Knees-  coward

Cuddy
power and dominance resolves around expanding power! Expand-take up-space, Weakness cowers up, makes your self small







Shaggy, leads with Pelvis
















Squidward, intelligent, leads with head
