Character Creation Progress

  • Internally Struggling Anti-Hero
  • Female
  • Red hair (stock stereotype of that) all over the place (model with the helmet on)
  • Scifi - Futuristic (Victorian settlement on Jupiter's moon)
  • Partly Android Character?!
  • Cute? Scary? Not traditionally beautiful but striking nevertheless (hips!)
  • A bit cartoony, exaggerated features
  • Textures
  • Colorscale feels like grey, light hues, but.. Should I not go caramel? Yes I should. Star contrast with the orange hair and the cold blues, violets and greens.
  • Then keep the background kinda less saturated (need to watch that tutorial video again)
  • Oh by the way I thought the environment should have the Victorian buildings as a base, but as the moon community quickly grew and techniques developed they started building on top of them in metallic neon stuff, and then there was the china town in there somewhere at the bottom too
  • Asian influences
  • Korean face for the girl
  • Tech in her eyes not just the helmet visor
  • She has a hovering motorbike or some kinda vehicle (Visual Arts module, submission 2)
  • Sidekick dragon wise old mentor (Badass Teacher, Distant Father Figure)
  • Damsel in distress kid (half) brother needs saving
  • What prevents her from saving the brother?
  • Fairytales have always been a safe place where to examine dark things. (Ian McCraig, The Skillful Huntsman)
  • Weapon, other props
  • I feel like she's on the defense somehow
  • Don't go too far off the beaten path, let the audience have a grip on something familiar
