hey when u develop a character or what ever where do you start at?
because i have to make a comic in art class and make my own characters but I can't think of how to start them and how do you usually develop names for your characters?

I usually just end up doodling a character that I like. I have lots of them, but most of them aren't forced. However, two techniques I've used to create characters is to 1.) Base them off a another character, then warp it into unrecognizableness until it becomes your own. 2.) Base it off yourself or a another person. You and a pal both have all the quirks and interests right there and you don't have to spend a lot of time making every little part up. Start with something you like, or interested in, and base it off of that.

To find names for my characters, I just put together sounds until they sound good, or accidentally stumble across a name that suits the character, which usually takes time. Babnology is a website with a whole bunch of names you can use. Depending on what your character looks like, a certain sounding name might suit it best. Such as a Spanish or a German name, but only use the direct name if the character is such ethnicity or has a logical reason for the name. Otherwise, I occasionally pull different sounds from different names and plug them together. Or if you're really in a pickle, find a word, like 'key' and look it up in different languages- sometimes you'll find one that suits the character- adjust as needed.

Your mom sent me a message on Facebook. I am more than happy to help out! It should be a lot of fun!
I have a meeting with Linda (the former costume lady) tomorrow and I'll also be at school on Friday to have a meeting with Dan and to help with creative writing.

Hmmm. This weekend may not work out. I'll be seeing Wicked on Saturday and need the energy to transform Kelsey into Glinda and myself as Elphaba. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures for you! =3
I also have to attend a birthday party.

Perhaps next weekend? Should it be a Sleepover?
:iconoddstreak:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! *glomps*

And I see! That is hokay, cause you are seeing Wicked. And nothing trumps Wicked! :3
So some other time then! :D

I LIKE YOUR FAN ART
STOP BEING ORIGINAL

Naw, naw. I kid. I loves both your original work AND your fan work.
But you are showing signs of improvement ((and extra-terrestrial life)) so I am proud!
