Lesson 1: character creation
I have been tasked with creating 5 unique characters, two of which are done or nearing completion as of 24/09/2019. We will be sticking these characters into real life situations.
I created a character named Jamal whilst messing around with character creation, and even developed a backstory behind him.
I did this a while ago for a YouTube subscriber special and I would very much ike to re-do a similar art style for a character.
Works that inspire me:
I love the outrun aesthetic, and reflects my want to own a motorbike. I wish to also create a game in year 2 surrounding riding a bike through levels. Plus I love the helmet.
TV heads are amusing and quite cool to me. I think this would be a nice idea for a character.
I also very much like space and spacesuits, they’ve always fascinated me. I think the round helmet looks like an eyeball, cool idea for a character in a spacesuit– having a massive eyeball.
