Shape, Scale, Colors

  Considering the readings on shape, describe what the major shapes of your character are, and how they fit your character. Show an annotated sketch / photo of your character.              I would say that my character has a more rectangular shape to it. It is to show that they are more serious than some others characters. The segments in her armor also taper out with sharp points at the end of them. 2.  Considering the readings on “scale”, describe scale as it relates to your character. Show an annotated sketch / photo of your character so far (annotated for scale). Using Photoshop or other image editing software, show an image that has altered the scale of components of your character and write how that might influence how a player reads the character’s traits.  So the average brown bear is about 9 feet tall standing up.

I find that the deliberate choice to make Luigi a coward to better differentiate him from his brother is what makes him for many more endearing for people as he has more character.  I decided to make Luigi worse. I made him the stereotypical 80s macho man. Buff, tanned, muscular.  I gave Luigi a toned and muscular body with a TRAPAZOID body shape to show toned physique. He's got that tan that body builders have.

 Top 3 Favorite Sketches. Monk Samurai Dancer Image: Kiryu Kiryu is a giant robotic reptilian that was made with the bones of the original Godzilla to defeat the new Godzilla. Kiryu has dragon-like features that keep it from the uncanny valley. It is modeled, as is Godzilla, on the old reconstructions of dinosaurs with a vertical stance and dragging their tails.
