One year.ONE! YEAR!That's how long it's been since the last VLOG... it's been too long. I got some great emails, posts, and IMs from people telling me how much this series has helped and that was a big reason I was able to jump back into getting these out, so a BIG THANK YOU to those of you who sent messages.My process for designing characters after doing the other steps first is pretty simple:

1. Make proof sheet of reference pics (Google Image Search FTW)
2. Redraw subjects on proof sheet using simple shapes
3. Play with those shapes to explore design varieties
4. Pick features you like from those & run with them

That's it. After writing the story, performing voices, recording sound fx & music... I have a pretty good feeling for the characters when I see them. So all I'm trying to do here is get my pencil to show them to me.Oh an also, you get to hear the FULL SONG I wrote for this short in the last VLOG... so keep an ear out for that & let me know what you thought!
