Character Development

Here's a 10 week ideation project I did in Andrea Adams' character development class. I always have a blast in her classes and this was no different. Here we had to choose a character from Shakesphere and create an entirely new place to put them in, but we had to keep their original character and story. My character was Prospero from The Tempest. I had so many ideas running through my head for this that it was difficult to nail just one down. However, I ended up doing a "split personality" type thing where the girl was Prospero's calm and collected side and the man was Prospero's anger and temper. Other students just did one, but I took on a lot by doing two different characters, but I think I was pretty successful in creating the universe they lived in.

I really enjoyed this class because it was more about the character, not about the art. Granted, it couldn't be extremely sloppy, but as long as we had an understanding of who our character was and if it was reflected in our design Andrea was pretty happy.

There's another picture of some ideations I had for their creature companions, location, and weapons. There are a ton more of these laying around on my computer, but if I posted all of them, we'd be here for a while!

Costume Drawing Final

Costume drawing is/was all drawing from live models but for the final we were allowed to do whatever we wanted as long as the character showed a transition. I think my characters transformation is pretty obvious haha. Was referencing the hulk for this project.
