  • using shapes to define a character? yeah phineas and ferb did that to the extreme.

    • I mean you're not wrong. I've never seen a single episode, but just from memes and the occasional clip I know that Phineas is the "schemer" always coming up with some crazy idea for how to have fun over the Summer, and likewise Ferb is a bit of a stoic who's always there to see things through. Their designs sell who they are really well.

  • One thing I would like to add, a good character design works in basically EVERY art style, not only in a single one, using that certain color palette, those clothes, that body type, and even the size comparison with other character in the universe, just watch at some The Simpsons intros, they change the art in a lot of them to things completely different and redesigning all character for fit in that art style, but even then that base for the character is still recognisable and tell what you need to know about the character.

    @BeyondBaito@BeyondBaito4 жыл бұрын

    • That's part of what makes him so great. He's not a stylized or over the top character like most anime protagonists. He's just a kid in way over his head and everything about him reflects that. His lack of visual flair makes him stand out against the more vibrant designs of characters like Misato, Rei, Asuka and even Gendo with his iconic pose. He looks like a normal person surrounded by anime characters. Even comparing him to someone like Light from Death Note, Shinji never gets those moments of visual flair and stylization that accompany Light's more powerful moments. Both look like normal people but Shinji is treated as mundane visually. The story wouldn't work if he was anything else.

Also, a good design makes the character more "special", along with their personality. Cuz while the personality makes the character's decisions, the design, as we said, makes their recognizability.

    • Some of the designs I've seen of yours sort of actually fit what's described here, even if not intentionally. Take, say, Ocho and Apophis from Dungeon Dynamite. Ocho (is that how it's spelt?) looks like he'd be confident, care about his appearance and try to be the star of the show. Apophis fits the shape geometry decently as well, being very square to suggest the reliability and rounded edges, which fit to his more quiet and supporting role. This shape logic could be applied to Euler as well. In short, claim credit for good character design and run for the hills.

Its absolutely wonderful how not only you get to see him age and grow more mature and learn throughout his journey, you can also realise how his style changed when he got rid of the bright red coat, the shiny pants and the big boots making him stand out in a world where everyone prefers to wear desaturated color to slowly as he matures giving up on the attention he wanted and focusing on other more important things.

  • One aspect of character design you didn't mention which I think can be used to really interesting effect is posture. Some really good examples of this are Griffith from Berserk (always regal with a raised chin, open solders and and arched back) or Spike from Cowboy Bebop (slouched with eyes peering up and hunched, closed shoulders). What's interesting about this to me is how it's one of the elements of character design that can subtly change near instantly. In the final arc of the Bebop anime, Spike straitens up into an aggressive, defiant stance whereas at the start of the third act of the Golden Age arc in Berserk, Griffith can do nothing but slouch and withdraw, indicating a psychological change accompanying the physical trauma he suffered.

When space dandy was still airing (mind you this was my first anime) and I saw the way he walked and stood I knew his personality was in relation to Spike from cowboy bebop DESPITE not having not seen bebop at that time and only knowing of it from other media, and I was spot on in thinking so. Posture conveys the character's personality more so than things like clothes in my opinion, similar to real people. Someone can wear the same clothes but their posture will still distinguish their characteristics.

    • And Guts will almost exclusively stand, or sit, in either an aggressive or defensive stance. He can stand tall, with a massive sword across his back, ready to beat down demons and men alike. Or he can take up a stance devoted to shielding Casca. Another example is probably most prominent in the Golden Age arc as Guts sleeps with his sword, often perched against an object, seemingly protecting it.

  • The great thing about Jotaro as well is that just by making his uniform white in Part 4, he gives off a strong visual indication of a captain, which not only reflects his maturity and occupation, but also his transition from high school punk but to his new role within the group of leader and mentor. It makes him look reliable, wise and and like he is in control.

    • @Soryuu Rengazan Meh, I'd argue Agent 47 is different because he's famous for being a *video game* character --which is a medium that's meant to be _played_ rather than (passively) watched like Anime or Film. So many video game (playable) characters are bland & uninteresting characters simply because they don't need to have any personality (which may actually make it easier for players to "feel" like said characters). I mean, I'd bet anything nobody'd actually like/remember Agent 47 if he started out as an Anime character.

  • Which is where the issue comes in that the majority of anime characters these days seem to borrow from the same archetype. This often goes beyond merely their visual appearance but down to their personality. The most glaring example is the typical protagonist. Average male age 15-18 with medium build, short black or brown hair, tends to be below average in terms of academic intelligence. If weapons are concerned, then they are most likely a swordsman. The message is clear, they're supposed to represent the target audience reading/watching these stories, they are designed as such for the sake of relatability, but I kinda consider this a bullshit thing to center your protagonist, the pivot of your story around. Protagonist looking/acting like a Japanese pleb doesn't actually make them more reliable, when you think about it. I can relate to Yugioh characters just fine, even if I don't have their otherworldly mind crushing hair, I can relate to Johnny Joestar better than Kirito even if I'm not a blonde paraplegic in the 19th century. "Relatability" is something a character should act out, not a mere indication that they should be a mask for the audience to pick up and wear. What making a protagonist a "default" design ended up just making them drown in the pool of billions of other 15-18 years old short, black haired protagonist, making them unable to stand out. It's a "safe play" in the way that you're not actually accomplishing anything by playing this safe.
