Character Design

Rangeela- The Kingfisher Man

"A Unique Character Design for Academic Project."

​

Project Brief

To find any people from the academic campus or outside of the campus and find some unique characteristics of findings (people) and create a character with exaggeration.

​

The Process

I started to observe & study people with different characters and sketched them out. After that, I explored the exaggeration of my models and detailed them out with sketches. Once characters were finalized from sketches,

I started to design them with plasticine clay. This module helps to study a person in person, his/her behaviors, lifestyles, physical and emotional attributes, and these parameters help to create an exaggeration of that person.

​

The Final character

I selected my character from the campus who was a painter in the color workshop. He liked to eat fish very much. Every day he wore colorful dresses. His nose was very long, pointed, and it looked like Kingfisher’s beak.

I exaggerated him like a Kingfisher bird. To design his character, explored with character model sheets, expression sheets, sketches, etc. 

 

The final character was designed in plasticine clay with the help of armatures from aluminium wires.
