Trying to narrow down 3 favourite characters to recognise shape and form in was hard. I had so many favourites all with interesting and unique methods of creating character with this design method. I finally decided I wanted to do three very different characters, a human figure (Starfire), a robotic form (Iron Giant) and an anthropomorphic character (Po).

When working through the characters, I recognised how interesting the combination of shapes and form is a powerful tool in creating the signature look of a hero or villain as well as making them unique. Each character all differ in a vast array of shapes and sizes, this helps mirror their personality, as well as help them fit into the animation style of the show/movie they are in and keep them recognisable.
