Extra research

This is a manga book I have and is useful for research. This contains images of different manga drawings and anime is based on manga comics. I thought this could be good research as I am doing an anime style animation.

When I was designing my characters I looked at this page for hair style ideas but I ended up going for a style from a animation show instead.

This book has lots of mythical creature descriptions and drawings in it. This would be a really good book to use if any creatures would be in the animation. I was thinking about a dragon for the wave so this page is a good source of research.

 

 This infomation is good in the book to help with chatacteristics. It tell all the features of people and other things.

The style of my characters is sort of based on that of people in digimon. I was trying to look at a style I liked and thought wasn't too complicated to draw. The two characters below are the character from digimon and one of my characters first design. You can see that they aren't the same but there are a few characteristics I looked at when drawing mine. They both have gloves, big spiky hair and big shoes. The body shape on mine is a bit longer. Also the eyes are a different style. But in anime there are two types of the way eyes look. The other characters eyes are more detailed and are closer to the digimon character but the villains eyes are simpler.

 The original concept of digimon is believed to have come from Akiyoshi Hongo. It is produced by Toei Animation and Bandai of Japan.
