Character Design

Over the last few days I've just been plugging away at my character design in response to Blanck Mass- Please, which by the way I must have now listened to around 1000000 times. I'm mainly working from the prompt words I wrote down whilst first listening to the song, such as muted, wobbly, chilled, sleepy and echoey. You can see from my first set of designs that the theme of the song has led most of my characters to look a little bit trippy, I wanted them to remain clothes-less because when I was listening to the song, for some reason it made me think of a little naked yet or something, doing yoga and meditating. 

My first set of designs

Above you can see the designs I've done so far in chronological order. I think you can really see how my ideas have been developing throughout this project, from the very un-human blobs I started with to the humanoid, furry characters I've been doing more recently. I much prefer the recent designs, as I not only prefer the use of colour but also the consideration of line. I also think their human features e.g. arms, legs, faces, helps to distinguish how they are feeling and gives them a sense of movement.
