Additional notes on this character:

 Philip Stevens is a midget businessman, with a great life, if you remove great. He has everything that others just can dream of. A big house, three brand new supercars, a $140 Million mansion in Hollywood hills, a daughter and a huge business. The thing with Phil is that he discovered that his wife was cheating on him a while ago. She decided after a while to leave Phil to live with her new lover. Philip did everything he could to avoid it, by buying her everything she wanted, but with no luck. They have been separated for about one year now, and there is a new issue in tha air right now, that can make his business, Stevens industries, go down. His ex-wife still owns 50% of Stevens Industries, and threating to sell them to her new lover, which will be a big loss for Phil. He will do anything to get his wife back, and the same time avoid that the stocks are being sold. His daughter, which he had with her ex-wife, is 14, and is busy all the time, with friends and boyfriends. More information about her will come later.






INTRODUCTION

This assignment were we supposed to make an character, and give him a life story. The finished product should be a silhuette of our finished character.

INTERPRETATION OF THE TASK

When I started on this assignment, I went straight to the internet to find inspiration. I knew from day one how I wanted my character to be, so I started with my template, and made a story about him.

CONCEPT

The concept I went for on this assignment, was a rich midget buisnessman that have big family problems in his life. He has everything , but nothing without money.


SCHEDULE:

MONDAY; Template and research. 5hrs

TUESDAY; Template and research. 5hrs

WEDNESDAY: Drawing my character ( suggestions) 6-7hrs

THURSDAY: Drawing my character (final) 5hrs

FRIDAY: Delivery, getting the files in the right folders, report. 5hrs


RESEARCH AND WORK PROCESS

CREATIVE METHODS

When I started on this assignment, I used the internet to find good references, such as making a moodboard as well. This helped a lot when it come to poses and the look of a buisnessman.



ANALYSIS

The issues I had to work with on this assignment, was to create an unique character that people wanted to read about, and learn more about. I took my idea, that I have had in my head as a game idea for several years now, and turned that into a product how I imagined him. 

DESIGN


The design on my character was pretty basic. Philip is a buisnessman, that wear grey suit, tie and polished black shoes. He loves his outfit. Him as a person is kind of fat, bold and wear glasses cause of bad eyes.



SELF- EVALUATION
REFLECTION ON FINAL PRODUCT

My opinion on my final product is that I could have made a monster or an alien kind of person, but I felt that I was pretty sure about how I wanted this character to turn out, so I went for it and tried to make the character that I had imagined for several years in my head. The final result is pretty much how I wanted him to be. This week was just the silhuette, but next week we are going to work with clothing and details, which will be much more fun.
