Character Project.

I decided to go with the character project because I thought it sounded like fun.  I began creating my character by collecting a bunch of images that inspire me and that I think would create an interesting character. As I collected the images I began to see patterns and form ideas.

I was initially inspired by an illustration. This made me begin to think about cartoons and animations. I thought what if my character was a cartoon character? That would be quite fun and interesting. I looked into a bunch of cartoons such as Adventure time, Ahh! real monsters, and Beetlejuice. I particularly like these cartoons because they are weird and the characters look interesting. Also In the live version of Beetlejuice Lydia is played by Winona Ryder who is definitely a muse for this character.  

While researching furtherer I remembered a graphic novel Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. The main characters in this graphic novel are two girl best friends. I adore these characters and their friendship. They have a real angsty and dead pan attitude which I absolutely love. This story and these characters are probably going to be the main influence for my characters.
