In the framework of a whimsical worldview, everything can be anthropomorphized. "Anthropomorphism" is a popular character design idea in the ACG field and a form of daily practice for many concept design bigwigs, who have never lacked brain holes and imagination. Let's take a look at the various objects, how can the painter's pen produce anthropomorphic expression?
South Korean concept designer Shycocoa usually likes speed painting and anthropomorphic exercises, and everything around him is his source of inspiration. References to his anthropomorphic works include ornaments, jewelry, lamps, knives, daily necessities, and other items. After the author refers to the color matching shape of the elements, the work will be based on the main color of the material, supplemented by the shape of the item, and carry out a brain hole design.
With his oversized brain holes and high modeling ability, he injects a unique soul into his characters. Although they are all sketches, his designs are interesting without lack of innovation.
Character concept design tests our ability to extract elements and the ability to portray characters, which is a form of art creation based on design.
If we want to improve concept design, in addition to the basic skills to be solid, we must also have a wealth of knowledge reserves, the accumulation and research of various cultures, the exploration of themes, styles and world views, and extract elements and ideas from them for our use. When designing a character, it is first necessary to believe that your character is alive, and to imagine the experience of the character and the story behind it, so that the creation can be interesting.
