Character Design Visual References

Below is a list of character design reference which are based on the project's character theme - unisex or genderless characters. The reason for using a unisex or genderless character is so that the user will not feel that the game itself it meant for a specific gender only. It is also so that the user will feel comfortable without having to stereotype or judge whether the in-game character is a male or female. Users can feel free to interpret the character's gender however they like, although there is really no specific gender given to the character.

 Picture 7: A set of characters from the game Patapon. I am fascinated by the limited use of colours (mainly in black and white) in the character and also the simple character designs.

 Picture 8: Creatures which somewhat look and shaped like human from the game Pikmin. This reference image can be used to study the colour and shape when designing my character.

Picture 9: This cardboard box character called Danbo is very popular, and originated from Japan. I like this reference because it is simple in design, and is unisex.

Picture 10: These creatures are Kodama, known as Forest Spirits in Japan. It is from the anime Princess Mononoke. Each character is unique as there is no same head that is designed in the same shape.
