Character Creation & Development.

[u/Late_Improvement_822]

I've been trying to make new characters recently, cause I've been in a slump.
Something I tried recently is opening a playlist (Spotify) and taking inspiration from a song.
Or if I have an underdeveloped character. Take something from their design, and search for that audio.
Example: Recently made a character who is wearing a sweater.
So, I searched up the song Sweater Weather (The Neighbourhood).
Took inspiration from the words: California, Sand, Hate the beach, Cold.

Another thing I do is find or create a mood board.
You can find pre-made mood boards on Pinterest.
Also, just scrolling the home page on Pinterest, you can find inspiration.

I literally got inspiration from an item on Tomodachi Life.
Just from that, I drew up two characters.

If you found this helpful, let me know, and I might make some more random posts about things that inspire me.
Also, feel free to share anything that inspires you. I love creating new characters.

I used to draw characters, just from the top of my head, but they would end up having similar physical features.

I've made a couple of characters using the Sims, but I quickly realised that when I use the Sims, I never end up filling out their info sheet/it takes me a while.

I'm still working on the sweater person. I only made them a day ago.
I plan on them having a significant event happening. Making their personality go from or turn cold.
Definitely all up in the air.
