Digital Illustration: Character Pitch Sheet

Using your "six heads" and "three bodies" designed last week, develop a "pitch sheet."

Character Information - Part I

This is the Game Seeds sheet. Click here to download the printable version

Design a sheet using PhotoShop (see above). Make this eye-catching, organized, and professional. This should have just as much design as your artwork pitch. 

Things to include:
  • Boxes and layout to organize information
  • Graphics or symbols to help the viewer understand quickly (ie. charts/tables)
  • Profile information including name, species, gender, time period, brief biography, age etc.
  • Attributes such as skills, experience, knowledge, expertise etc.
  • Information about the personality
  • Information about the background
  • Information about the story and setting 
Keep this information clear and concise. All of the information should fit on a single page, including graphics, and should be visually interesting.

Character Design - Part II

Examples of Part 2





Requirements for Part 2:
  • Include three bodies/views
  • Include six heads/views
  • Think about layout - make it eye-catching 
  • Include a LOGO for your series
  • Include a LOGO for your character's name (do not use the same logo twice! but make them go together - create unity)
  • Use color and texture to make it visually appealing
  • None of the examples above are complete, but each shows components which are useful samples - mix and match to complete your own!

Tips

  1. K.I.S.S (Keep It Short and Simple)
  2. Get to the good stuff as fast as possible
  3. Use universal examples to quickly convey what your character is all about
  4. Be passionate and humble - tell us why your character is awesome, but keep this in perspective
