"What do you want from me, you character design."

It flows together too much.

Seriously.

What the fuck is going on here.

Why is grandma's oven mitt protecting his heart

Is this an artistic statement

About the cuban missile crisis?

My god

The oven mitt is even in the earliest stuff.

What the fuck is this.

I don't know. I am not good at character design myself.

It has always been incredibly hard for me to gauge what makes a character interesting without it conflicting in some design aspect or aesthetic manner.

Ahhh phooey.

A friend of mine and I had hosted an artist from Blizzard for a while.

Big things to keep in mind

It's good to match the arms and legs somehow.

He was doing character design for them. He was incredibly good, and practiced every day, for hours, to the point that I was wondering how his hands were not falling off.

He was talking about a lot of these kind of issues, but I do not think I would be able to put it into practice.

Like

His wrists and heels

Have this RING on them

They match in that way.

The hard thing, though, it seems, is that it's a bit like a musical composition: It can take years to master, but any peasant can hear when you play just a single key wrong.

Or you could be rayman

It's why it works so well on so many characters.

With no arms or legs

Also, it's good that the colors 'checker' a lot.

For example.

Yes, when someone points it out, I can see it, but usually I wouldn't be able to articulate those aspects, just by looking at a character.

The colors checker A LOT.

I am trolling the character design challenges on ConceptArt.com a lot.

It makes the form pop out.

There are many industry professionals on that site and it's interesting to read this kind of feedback on character designs people submit.

That's what tends to make color work.
