Next, I moved on to my own characters. I tried 3 different styles for this, as I wanted to see how their design would translate across these styles. I did attempt the style I was developing with the art I made of my peers’ characters, but found that I liked a more graphic and cartoony style better for my own designs.
I found that by working with a more simplified style, I could consider silhouette and basic expression + detail better while generating strong designs for them, which I could not do with the more detailed and paint-like style, as I got too hung up perfecting the smaller details without considering the design as a whole.
