Character design help? I'm doing a school project

Postby SugarCorpse » Mon Oct 01, 2012 11:26 am

In my tech class i'm doing a project that basically has to hve animated components and what not.

For mine, i chose to write a scary story bout a doll that tries to control it's owners life and do evil things to make it's owner obey it. I'm having trouble on character design though... I have no idea how i want the doll to look. does anyone have any scary looking dolls? or doll that look totally inocent but can easily also look evil? It'd be a lot easier if i had some referances but google isn't showing me the best dolls in the world...

I also would obviously change the doll for my story, i wouldnt use your dolls name or all aspects of it. I just need somethign to get me going x_x

sinister looking pullip/dals?
They can be made to look quite creepy, but are usually really cute

Omi.

He happily goes from a cute dreamy expression...

To a 'die in a fire' look.

Image





And then goes to a completely homicidal expression.

Image





A little tweaking in photoshop, makes you want to give him a hug and let him know that everything is gonna be all right. ^.~

Image





Then he's a mischievous boy again. ^____^

Image





Also, I'm NOT going to dig up the 'I am EVIL' photos of his. THOSE are scary.

I've said this before, but, I am personally very afraid of 50's fashion dolls with sleep eyes. They are even more creepy with no hair, and when they are dirty. Here's a picture of sort of what I'm talking about:

Zircon, I don't think I've ever seen your Nano Haruka before! She's adorable!

Robbie (my zombie) swears he's not scary, but there are those who beg to differ.
