Hey Sebby, sorry if I sound obnoxious or anything but I’m actually starting to look into character design a bit more and I know that you have created some of my favourite character designs yet (like o.m.g for example). So I was wondering if you have some advice about character designs or how you come up with them
That's not obnoxious at all. The two most important things that separate good from great character designs are:
1) Contrast; You want variety in shapes, volumes, colors, etc. If you have repeating elements in particular you want to make sure that they aren't evenly spaced, etc. Contrast edges with rounds, darks with lights, small with large, etc. If in doupt, keep things uneven with rules of threes.
2) Iterations; The first design you make of something is never ever the best one. Redraw it. Redraw it *many* times, be very mindful of anything that bugs you as you make it and fix those problems. Refine.
is there any other place where we can see your newest artwork's?
My modern alias is Sebbychou, so you can keep an eye on that. But I haven't really drawn outside of professional work for many many years, and when I do it's mostly low effort sketches. I did do miniature painting on the side and got good at that instead.
I did get a mix of mental health breakthroughs and work-life-balance improvements this year. So... maybe in the near or mid-term future I'll draw publicly again? I'd love to. I've been transitioning from 15 years as an Animator back into Design
Hey, are you still active on here?
