I have to say that I really like character design, I have hundreds of reference images for character design in my favorites (such as body, clothing reference, action reference, shoe reference, cape reference) but my own design is not good , I still need more practice.

And I’m also thinking about the difference between animation character design and game character design. I don’t know if it’s because game character designs are more static, so they’re more complex. I’m not sure that it’s wise for me to make the animation character design complicated, so I try to keep the character’s characteristics as much as I can, and delete some unnecessary decorations (such as overly complicated patterns on clothes or trinkets hanging on clothes)
Because I really have so many designs that I want to draw, I also thought about it for a long time in the early stage of design. In the end I still wanted to draw the first inspiration that popped into my head, which was “Apple Witch”. I rummaged through a lot of references for this. In order to make her more sensual, I cut her clothes as much as possible, leaving her skin exposed. According to the character’s personality, I added a big bow to her.

When conceiving the character’s background, I couldn’t help but think a lot, such as what her parents were like, what her friends were like, and finally in order to polish the character, I designed a sister for her. A sister who is completely opposite to her personality. Maybe this sister is not her biological sister, because I hope they will be a couple (not sure yet, though).

I’ll be perfecting my sister’s character during the holidays, and I really like thinking about it.
