Character Design Tips

Some people have asked how I went about drawing the Overwatch cast, so I threw together a list of things I think about when designing characters: shapes, silhouettes, colors, and inspiration.

1. Shapes

There are three basic shapes in my toolbox: round, box, and triangle. If I follow my intuition, each shape conveys a personality. For example:

Round = charismatic, harmless, endearing

Box = reliable, uniform, traditional

Triangle = cunning, dynamic, competent (downward pointing more aggressive)

Shapes can also be combined for more complex characters

2. Silhouettes

Block in the character. If I can still recognize who it is, then it has a strong, readable silhouette.

3. Color

Sometimes less is more. Limit the palette for unity and impact. When working with three colors, keep the 60-30-10 rule in mind. Pick one color to make up about 60% of the character, a second color to make up about 30%, and the last color is about 10%.

When working with just two colors, use the 70-30 rule. One color is about 70%, the second is about 30%.

4. Inspiration

Designs come to mind easier when I’m listening to music, or when I have a mental image of something in mind. For example, I was listening to Klezmer music when drawing Reaper, and I was thinking of a chicken when I was drawing Lucio. It can take a while to warm up, so a good source of inspiration is important to stay motivated.

Beyond that, it’s up to you!

Vigilante!Deku fics be like

they're good like that. It's called ✨character development ✨.

Anyways, talking about vigilante!Deku fics, you guys should go read 'heap of ashes that i am' on AO3 by bunjeegumboy. It's completed with 44 chapters and 226 595 words.

It starts off with Midoriya getting bullied by good ol' Bakugo for being quirkless. Soon after, he attempts suicide by jumping off a building into the river(?) and hits a rock when he drops, that ends up killing him. However, he wakes up a few hours later in some cave (if I remember correctly) and is left confused... the story starts unfolding.

Also, Bakugo witnessed Midoriya's suicide, and that kind of fucked him up, so he goes to therapy 👍. He's trying to get better, and tries to handle his anger better. Spoiler!: he meets Izuku again and it goes very... interestingly.

It's all awesome tho, such a great read. Love the characters and all. And how can it be a Vigilante!Deku fic if he doesn't get adopted by the EraserMic couple?

Also, Shinsou is his best friend :)
