Lip Sync Character Design

The initial design

The final design

This is the role design of the character answering the question in the dialogue. I think the voice answering questions in the audio is rather nervous, so I designed the character as a rather introverted girl. Just like the previous character, I also made many changes to this one. I think at the very beginning, the design of this character gave people a more lively feeling than being introverted. So I used the same method as designing the previous character and found a reference point for the design. The reference object I found for this character is a kind of flower. I think the shape of this flower is very similar. And because the opening of the flower closes downward, I think it gives people a very introverted feeling. I applied it to the costume design of the character.

This is the role design of the character who raises questions in the dialogue. At first, I designed many different costumes or painting styles for this character, but I wasn’t very satisfied with any of them. I thought there was nothing distinctive about them. I chose to try adding some elements that I thought were cute to the character design, and thus I found a photo of a mushroom. I think the characteristics of mushrooms are very obvious and their shapes are also very cute, making them very suitable elements to be integrated into character design. I designed costumes for the characters based on the references I found, such as mushroom hats and skirts shaped like the roots of mushrooms.
