Character Design Concepts (Part 2)

I drew the following designs by hand and notably it is rather basic, which would allow for me to draw the frames quicker and therefore add more frames to create some sense of movement or diversity in the images shown. I essentially gave the characters stick figure arms and legs like in much of the styles given below; I took inspiration from ExtraCredits initially but felt the lack of arms and legs might prove to be confusing if multiple people were in frame at once.

Perhaps the designs are too simple as they seem to lack much historical accuracy and are kind of boring. I've continued with the idea of putting initials on the characters to distinguish them but I've noted how difficult it would be to make this style have expressive emotions from the characters, the designs made seem to fit very basic 'emoji' style emotions.

I do not think this idea is entirely a no, in fact I may devolve into using this style if running behind, however I think re-designing the characters once more would be helpful as to ensure the best avenue for a character design.




The design is very simple and combines elements from the content creators below:

Cyanide and Happiness





















Tabbes


Tomska's ASDF


ExtraCredits
