CHARACTER #1
COLOR: Black and Red Checkerboard
Whenever I think of the color black, I think of a something dark or sinister. Black represents death, coldness, emptiness that we all cannot fill. It has lost its light. Along with black is the color red, representing pain and agony. Red could also represent lust for things we don’t have. For my character, these two colors represent him spot on. For this character has lost his light. There is no way to turn him around. He is cold and ruthless. He earns for the darkness. His lust for power has created an evil, inhuman personality to him. For this, the only colors that could possibly represent him are the infamous black and red.
LIGHTING: Half Covered Face
This villain has a side to him that only a few know. The lighting in this picture shows only half of this man’s face. It’s like he is hiding a side of him that he doesn’t want us to know. Notice how the light is also coming below him. He’s not standing below the light. Instead, he’s standing above, casting “evil-looking” shadows on his face. This character has a dark past and present. There are only a few parts of his face that is illuminated. This represents that my character may not even be half human. The darkness shows what a sinister character he is.
SHAPE: Machine
When thinking of what a human looks like, we think of curves and roundness. When we are thinking of this villainous character, sharpness is a better word to describe his figure. He is more electronic than he is human. The mechanics in this picture represent how he is more machine than he is person. There are no “curves” or “roundness” to his figure. Instead, he is cold and hard, just like machines. His physical appearance may look hard, but when you look inside of his head (like an electronic) you realize he is a more complex character than you would think. He has many layers to him that you don’t realize, just like a machine.
DARTH VADER
CHARACTER #2
COLOR: Green and Brown
In many cases, green can represent jealousy. But in this case, green represents peace, nature, calmness, and life. The brown gives this picture a more “organic” look. This character doesn’t look for war. He is very peaceful, like the colors of nature. Green and Brown are calming colors, just like this character. These colors may also represent camouflage. This character is good at hiding. For in his last years of life, he hid from his enemies. He is also very old and peaceful, which I coincide with nature. You will never see him urge war and violence. He yearns for peace.
LIGHTING: Overhead (Heavenly) Lighting
When looking at this character, I think of him standing in a ray of light, as though the heavens themselves are casting down their acceptance for this character. He represents goodness. Lighting shining from above represents how he is more than human. He is wise beyond any one of us. He doesn’t take the gifts he has for granted. Instead, he is always seeking for guidance, whether it’s the people around him, or some unknown force. These rays casting upon him make him stand out from everyone else. He is a sign of goodness, which is why this “heavenly” lighting represents him the best.
SHAPE: Sac of Potatoes
This may seem strange, but a sac of potatoes closely represents this character’s shape. When you look at this picture, you notice that this sack is small and grungy-looking, but inside of the bag is very important. Some families kept themselves alive by eating potatoes. To some, it was their lifeline. This sac of potatoes may be small and not attractive learning, but if you look beyond its outside appearance, you will see how important he is to the people he is close with. Just like this picture, there is more to him that he may appear. He may be small like a sac of potatoes, but the person he is inside make up for it.
