TOPIC
SFC WHAT-NOTS # 58: EXAGGERATED CHARACTER ASPECTS



This idea was submitted by my good buddy Nano. Whenever designing a character, be it how they look or how they’re written, we all tend to lean somehow toward one aspect or another. These exaggerations aren’t a bad thing. They’re just a part of our creative signature: what makes our content unique.

The question today is “What are your main exaggerated character aspects?”  In your artstyle, what tends to be pronounced most? In backstories, is there a common aspect? Do you favor certain personality types? Is there a lingo a lot of your characters use?

HOST’S EXAMPLE

I definitely tend to pronounce bone structure and some muscular aspects with my characters: mainly with the shoulder and collar-bone area, as well as the rib cage. I think I developed this partially from imitating parts of the Star Wars CG Clone Wars art style.

As for personality and the like, I’ve definitely leaned more toward the hyperactive, even if this is mostly just with Identity characters.
