First Character Designs
These are my first sketches of the family that runs the travelling circus! I have yet to name them but it goes in the order of: the main character (the daughter to the ringmaster) , the ringmaster (father), the sister (one of the trapeze artists, very invested in the circus), and the mother (runs the circus from behind the scenes, used to be a star back in a famous French circus until she started her own show.) Criticism is welcomed and wanted!

ReplyDeleteHi Maddi,
In light of the multi-disciplinary nature of your collaborator, I like very much the idea that the city he'd design with you would be a 'city of culture' - I think this a key idea and helpful in terms of choosing what we're looking at when it comes to your actual set-up for your digital set.

I really like lots of your thumbnails, and I like the way you've been 'constructing' them out simple shapes. As additional references informing your designs, check out Bauhaus architecture and design in general terms:

This is a solid, encouraging start, Maddi: short version, a bit of general research into Bauhaus design, and develop your idea of Alak being a city of culture, and think about which buildings might feature in your digital set - and why.
