Here I am practicing some character design. Any name ideas?
TIPS to character design below!

🌟First, decide their role in a story. Are they a protagonist or supporting character? What race/team are they (this can be real or fantasy races; just try not to rip Tolkien off)? What is their personality, and how does it fit into their surroundings?
🌟After you know the basics of their surroundings, focus on their physical characteristics. Basic shapes can convey their personality- 🌟square/rectangle= stable, solid, strong, stubborn
🌟round= soft, friendly, harmless, safe
🌟triangular= daring or dangerous, unstable, driven or determined
🌟Now you can select colors; it’s usually easiest to find a color scheme to make sure the colors will fit together
🌟Dark colors are usually found on villains
🌟Pastels express purity and innocence
🌟Bright colors like reds, blues, yellows, and greens can represent heroes such as in comics
🌟Avoid same-face syndrome; give them some variations, thinking about shapes and proportions. Some ideas:
🌟Hair length, style, color, cut
🌟Accessories like hats, jewelry, or bags; do they have their own unique outfit or do they wear a uniform (and if so, how do they still stand out?)
🌟Birthmarks, freckles, tattoos, or scars
🌟Fantasy races: add and subtract a couple of animal-like qualities or human variations, but don’t overdo it.
🌟Powers (small or large)
🌟Beliefs, goals, dreams
🌟Friends, companions, family, enemies
🌟If your character is subject to change over time (like switch from evil to good), think about how this transition will affect their physical characteristics. You might rethink the super dark color scheme or horns or bat wings if you know this will be the case.
🌟Be confident in your ideas, but be willing to go back and make changes.

🌸Comment if you have any more ideas for tips and tricks!🌸
