Character Design Tutorials and Rules

This is great, but some of the pictures are missing.. if you passed your bandwidth try using photobucket.com I have never had any problems there. I really want to be able to see all your images. Thanks so much for all your tutorials man! They are so helpful and truely generous

okay thats it, its all here and in the other page. that is until neb puts the links in the first post. cya all.

I would like to start with how amazed I am by your work and insight. Now- a small critique. Your thread should be titled “Character Design for Games/Sci-Fi…etc”. The rules you laid down missed one huge and important rule: who is the audience of the piece? Mickey Mouse doesn’t look the way he does because it was the only way he could survive in the harsh Disney environment- he looks that way because it is appealing to children. I envy your work, and your rules have application in some genres, but good character design is an extremely broad topic.

first off id like to apologise for links breaking..but my good friend warpy fixed that one

yes i will do the poses and yes ill whoop up as many tips for transferrin designs into 3d

comic_craig and yeah i know what you mean, but rest assured..i intend to cover many areas...ynad cartoonish style and comic style, manga, game design..and anything else i can think of, but thanx for refreshin my memory..

genius!

im trying to come up with a new character myself... down on inspiration lately!
out of curiosity, and the need of a creative boost...

what's your idea of a "fierce - bad a$$ - yet cool - smooth" looking type of creature/beast/character???? perferably a biped...

someone who could be mistaken for a villain, but at the same time could be a good guy...

kinda like batman... dark... fierce... yet cool... calm... smooOoOoOooOooth...

okey im asking too much...

but if you have the time...

thanks in advance!
