Creating Diverse Characters

Artist's Comments

Originally I just uploaded this do Deviantart, but it's doing so well over there that I figured people here would find it useful too. A guide for how a character's physical traits can help define how other characters and the viewer sees that character's personality. This doesn't just have to apply to cats, it can really apply to any character. Cats are just easier to explain with. Plus, it now kind of sort of fits the guidelines of the site. Mods, let me know if you want me to take it down, if it isn't fitting enough.

Hope this helps you out somehow!

This is helpful, and all feline are allowed here, as far as I know. And an off topic from time to time should be allowed as well. Like that pic of Marell I got.
I'll have to try this out. I like the last one a lot. Thinking I just found the face structure to one of my chars! The last face, it's show exactly what ya said, and really works with the char I had in mind. Cuz this is the face type I see! Thanks a lot!

Awesome! These are just a few examples though. There are a lot more out there, because there are soooo many combinations and so many little things that can be changed. Shoot me a link when you get that char drawn out, I'd like to see it.

Indeed... I will do! I has to colour it. XD Care if I tell ya the char name, cuz I'm revamping refs and whatnot. It's a char I got made already, but am making better. XD

My character Ratha. How do you copy/pasta with iPhone? So no link yet to her old ref.

I don't have an iphone so I wouldn't know. XD Don't worry, I'll find it.

Here's that link I promised ya. I did ref the head angle though, the best way to learn something is to recreate it, right?
