Design Final-Character Design

Design final
Our final project will focus on character design which can cross over into many realms.  Begin by choosing an artist who designs characters in the field of video games, comic books/graphic novels or a related field.  Please focus on an individual who does the illustrative part of the process if there is a collaboration.  (for instance, if you chose Stan Lee and Jack Kirby who created the Fantastic Four, focus on Kirby with acknowledgement to Lee)
Part 1: Research and write a 2 page paper (double spaced plus works cited page) on the artist/designer.  Artist must be approved by Mr. Purcell by Friday June 5.  Discuss the artist's background, training, work history and any noteworthy information about their creative process.
Part 2: create two characters with an environment that could exist in the same world and are in some way influenced by the artist you chose.  Final art can be in any medium and any size 11 x 17 or bigger.
Be prepared to discuss/defend your design choices such as color, clothing, texture etc...
Please be prepared ahead of time with both paper and art as no late work will be accepted.  No emailed papers accepted and any late arrival for printers not working, last minute printing etc will result in a zero.

Have fun with this and do your best as this could be a potential portfolio piece

Artwork 50%
