SEPTEMBER 2016
'Split Personality' design competition.
We've all seen those books where you flip different parts of a character's body and the visual look changes can be quite hilariously....
Well, this month's challenge is a character design one that will end up with a 'split personality' twist! Below is a 1920 x 1080 pixels template design that you can download and work from. You will see that it breaks the character design into three parts - the 'Head', the 'Body' and the 'Legs'. Download this template and match it with a character design of your own imagination. (Note: Don't draw over this actual template, with the writing showing, etc.. Instead, you should send just your character design set against a white background frame that matches this 1920 x 1080 file size exactly and with your artwork created only within these 3 body part divisions!) You can even add a background in the darker gray areas if you like however ~ just make sure that your artwork doesn't go beyond them...
You do no't have to copy this character, or even draw in the dotted 'cut lines'. Just use it as a guide for how your design is going to fit together. All you have to respect are the two 'cut' line locations that separate the three body parts. Once I receive your final design (on one single file please!) I will digitally separate it into three separate parts and position them next to everyone else's. Then I will randomly animate the parts to slide in relation to each other, creating a movie that will hopefully have hilarious 'split personality' consequences! (So please do follow the size guidelines when you submit your design, otherwise it won't work.) You can download the template file you will need as a guide to work from here...

Remember that your character can be anything you like - a monster, a princess, a robot, a superhero, a zombie, even an Anime hero - as long as you match the size, proportions and cut lines of the body elements. So please make your character as wild & wacky as you like folks! Just recognize the ultimate rule that I can only accept your design if you match the size and body part divisions indicated on the template.
