Kazone Character Design Workshop Project - Mira the Time Bandita!

Hey All!

Been super long since I posted really anything of significance ...That being said, this is a piece that’s pretty important to me. It’s the result of a Character Design workshop that I put together for the Kazone Art School a few weeks back where I presented a few interesting ideas in approach to character design and how to exercise your imagination.

This post has all the images that I used in the presentation without the context, but the gist of it should be pretty clear...Come up with 3 unique variables for a character, number them 1 through 3, and weigh those factors differently in 6 separate executions so as to challenge yourself in pushing how you think about visual exploration.

I did two separate sets in preparation for the talk, but ended up focusing on “Mira the Time Bandita” because I felt she was the stronger of the two ideas (by far) and because she is named and modeled after my close friend Siobhan’s cat.

Cheers! And feel free to ask me questions. :)
