Character
Dichotomy Project (part 1)
This
week we started a new project, the character dichotomy project, the
brief is to design a pair of characters whose styles indicate that
they belong in the same universe, but show polar opposites in certain
aspects of their appearance.
To
begin with, I used Pinterest as my inspiration source and I created a
mood board which I then used for creating characters. I have decided
to create characters based of animated movies such as Monsters Inc.
or The Incredibles, the idea was to create characters based off just
primitive shapes and I thought Pixar and Disney used that technique
quite a lot in their concepts to develop interesting and iconic
characters.

The
next step was to create some characters, so I used simple shapes and
I created silhouettes. I found this method of creating characters a
bit difficult as it was very challenging to imagine or design a
character from complete black shape however, this was a good start
and good practice to get some ideas flowing.
Lastly,
I have created more detailed and developed sketches of different
characters. I had several ideas and various polar opposite
combinations in my head to start with.
- Beautiful - Ugly
- Happy - Sad
- Rich -Poor
- Young - Old
- Tall – Short
