Several people requested magic-related generators, so here’s a fairly large mage generator! I tried to include a mix of character design and development categories, though of course you’ll need to do a bit more developing for a fully-rounded character.

I’d love to see your creations, if you wanna tag ‘characterdesigninspiration’ in any drawings you post from this!

I made this generator thing because it looked fun to make. I tried putting different things that you don’t normally see in these kinds of generators (hence the “unique” part). 

The latest generator, the random demon maker! Complete with horns, wings, and (mostly) unappealing personality traits, you can make your own demon in varying degrees of non-human-ness.  

I got bored and made a giant character generator.  7 different categories with at least 17 options each (some have more), including fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural, modern, and historical possibilities… which means that characters can get ridiculous really fast (like flamethrower-wielding, Feudal Japanese cyborg priestess with a pet unicorn). Have fun with what you get or try a few times if you want a serious character. 

I had a sudden strike of inspiration again for making a generator! Hope someone finds it useful :) Drag or screenshot!

Quite a few people requested some form of trait/personality generator, and here’s the result!  I wanted to keep it vague enough that the options could work for any universe, be it modern, fantasy, scifi, or anything else, so these are really just the basics. Remember that a character is much more than a list of traits, and this should only be used as a starting point– I tried to include a variety of things, but further development is definitely a must.

Could pair well with the gender and sexuality generator.

On Developing Story Ideas

By: Pete Docter 

“Where do you get your ideas?”

This is a question people ask a lot, and frankly it demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding about the creative process.

For some geniuses like Walt Disney or Miyazaki, their movies show up to them fully formed. Kapow: Dumbo. Pinocchio. Spirited Away. If you’re lucky enough to be born brilliant, ideas just appear all at once in your head.

I used to believe this.

Hey guys! So I recently finished up an inbetweening and timing charts demo and edited into an hour-ish video! A handful of folks asked me things like how to utilize a timing chart in your work, how to in between to those charts, and basic (I say basic because there are other more advanced ways - but thats another time) to keep your drawings consistent! I also talk about smears!

The program I’m using is TVPaint, but any program can do really.

@shufflehound‘s got me hooked on the mini-series Stuffy Durma: The Millionaire Hobo, part of the Milton the Monster tv show. only 4 episodes of Stuffy Durma exist which is a crying shame because (i think) the series had lots of potential.  these are some nice poses to copy with strong lines of action. here’s a reference to help with line of action.

and another one to help break down the construction;
