After reviewing retro characters and posing a view ideas and looking at the differences between how graphics have changed over the years, i have started to generate some ideas.
i think that when it comes to creating my character, i will be looking to design a character which is based on Crash Bandicoot and Sonic, the idea of this cartoon character which is used within game. both of these characters were based and designed around a certain animal which could be an idea to consider when it comes to making my character.
The difference in the way in which the characters have aged over the years could be something to consider as well when it comes to the designing of the character of which age am i going to make him look. whether or not he will be a young character to appeal to younger people or whether or not to age the character air so it appeals more to teenagers, similar to what happened with Crash Bandicoot by putting tattoos on his arms.
Gender is another thing which i have considered when it came to researching, whether or not to make the character a female or male. i think that making it a male character will allow to put more ideas into the designing but female but might suitable.
The personality of the character is always something which needs to be considered when it comes to the creation of the character. is it going to be like a character of Lara croft which is a female survivalist with the personality of having a 'butch' but lethal persona, or is it going to a super hero type character with powers or just an average cartoon which fights evil like sonic. The idea of a character like Sonic and Crash is what interests me and something i might follow down the lines of.
