  3. Character Design Feedback

    I think this has been quite an ambitious project in terms of the narrative, but your solid research and development of your central character has paid off. I think the Ninja character is very competently executed, displaying a high level of skill regarding anatomy and your gesture sheets are full of expression and personality. Considering you have a masked character, you have also managed to imbue her with emotion. The detailing on her sword and props also adds believability to the character, and a sense of history and narrative. Conversely, your Stag character is less developed and feels a little generic. i think it would definitely be worth revisiting this, looking back at your initial designs. Being a creature of myth and spirit, this character could be a way of exploring the calligraphic designs you were researching initially. The same can be said of the spirit dragon, who makes a brief and hurried appearance.

    Your environments have a lot of atmosphere but need more clarity. Like your secondary characters, i feel you should develop the environment further, adding some personality and character so that all of your elements work together to tell your narrative. Abandoned Dragon temples and haunted spirit - filled forests should be rich with detail and narrative possibilities. Your storyboard demonstrates the possibility of the intriguing narrative so i would definitely looks at working these up into more legible images. You clearly have the skills to do so.

    Overall then, I think its clear you have a strong grasp of character design, particularly with anatomy, gesture and expression. However it would have been good to have seen this in all aspects of the project. I have no doubt that you can refine these elements in the future. - JW
