the first thing I realised when researching Genndy Tartakovsky art style is the unique design his character have due to the way there expressed along with the established silhouettes that are distinctive to each character he creates.
In addition Genndy shows extremely expressed emotions to all his character, this is clearly shown through his character designs for Dracula in hotel Transylvania
Before my character design I took some time to study more of Genndys character designs from hotel Transylvania because I wanted to create a monster character as well. I saw the use of simple shapes that created a personality unique to each of the character with no speech needed. for example the mummy had a circle base with softer lines to reflect his bubbly personality while Dracula’s daughter. Mavis had a mix of sharp triangles along with curvy hips to show her relation to Dracula but having a kinder personality.
with this research I want to create a character with simple base shapes, distinct silhouettes and face features that can express exaggerated emotion while also being normal in a world like hotel Transylvania
