He has the main ideas down, the colors as well, unification and repetition but the memorability is lost on most of them.Oddmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907297501469221647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651364618989965913.post-58467028699994016922015-08-11T13:50:34.639-07:002015-08-11T13:50:34.639-07:00These concepts are also useful for achieving the o...These concepts are also useful for achieving the opposite effect - to make things unmemorable. In my opinion it's a more important skill, since on the majority of project the main characters are already established and the majority of the work is designing secondary and background characters. They can still be memorable, but should be tuned relative to the primary cast and story.<br /><br />"He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side" -RustyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434329863758976961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651364618989965913.post-20438438592482900462015-08-11T13:21:53.673-07:002015-08-11T13:21:53.673-07:00Excellent post Jason!

The ideas expressed here can be applied more abstractly to composition in general. To me, the process of concepting an environment, a character, or composing an abstract painting, are not so different. Simplicity isn't easy though. It requires much more brain power to compose with just those one or two visual elements; so much easier to just add a few more belts and layers of fabric. Speaking of which, your "bad" version of the rogue look like a great contender for a future Assasins Creed game set in the arctic (that wrist spike looks awesome btw). <br /><br />You can know a design is exceptional, when it makes you wish you'd thought of it first. As I feel to the work you've done here! I'm sure similar bear cloaks have been done before, but you've done it so well, and so thoughtfully, I struggle to imagine a better solution. <br />Lane Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368399358884888907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651364618989965913.post-91517830810139539932015-08-11T08:24:24.490-07:002015-08-11T08:24:24.490-07:00Thank you so much, Jason, that was really really h...Thank you so much, Jason, that was really really helpful and informative.
