Group Info

ProCharacterDesign is a group open to character designers of all skill levels, as well as animators! Our mission is to help you improve your character designs and offer critique on various characters, costumes, names, etc.
Here's how it works
-We will have folders for every section and skill level.
-Professionals and advanced skill level students will be co-founders and contributors
-Beginners and intermediate will be members

Why are moderators and admins decided by skill level? Simple; It's so we can help the beginners with any advice or tutorials needed. If you have any questions about character design or simply want to post a link or thumbnail on the main page for critique, feel free to do so anytime and one of our admins will respond to your needs.

Rules

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU JOIN OR SUBMIT!

For Joining-
-Please submit your skill level and a link to your gallery for confirmation in a note to the group.
-Please do NOT join if you don't have ORIGINAL characters!

For Submitting-
-Please only submit your ORIGINAL character designs, NO CANON CHARACTERS!
- Only submit concept art, sketch pages of the character, turnarounds, model sheets, understructure breakdowns, color tests, scale charts, spirit drawings and ref sheets of your ORIGINAL characters
-ABSOLUTELY NO PORNOGRAPHY WHATSOEVER! Just DON"T, please.
-Please keep characters PG to PG-13, Nothing more! There may be youngsters among us, and I do not want to be held responsible for tainting our youths.

-Character Backstory is absolutely necessary!
Every character worth watching has goals, hopes and dreams. What are your character's goals?
Each of our submission character designs submitted must have a minimum backstory for each character in the deviation's description. Please do this for each character shown.

If you would like help creating a backstory for your character, please submit it to the "Backstory Needed" folder. This is the only case in which we will accept characters without a backstory, if you submit characters without a backstory to any other folder, they will be rejected!

Central in the business are more than a dozen things needed for professional character designers. For those wishing to develop professionally, here is a site that's proven helpful:

www.creativebloq.com/3d/15-pro…

Additionally... if you would like help creating a backstory for your character, please submit it to the "Backstory Needed" folder. This is the only case in which we will accept characters without one.

Common F*@#ing Courtesy-
-Please keep language to a PG level, no F-bombs or the profane versions of genitalia or fecal matter. Watch your blasted mouth and keep it cool.
-ABSOLUTELY NO FLAMING, TROLLING, BULLYING OR ANTAGONIZING OF ANY KIND! This will get you kicked from the group, pronto! We have zero tolerance for A-holes.
-Please critique fairly and give constructive suggestions. I generally like the compliment sandwich; something good, something that needs improvement and something good. Make that puppy as big as you want and Bingo!
-ABSOLUTELY NO THEFT, STOLEN ART, RECOLORS OR CANON CHARACTERS!!!! I will personally give you the boot if you submit stolen or otherwise illegitimate art to the group!
-Need something or having a problem? Contact one of the admins by note or simply send a note to the group, and we will do our best to assist you.
-This group is mainly about character design, but we will have folders for other character related art.
-Please make sure you are using your own characters! No canon, recolored characters or use of someone else's character.

Enjoy the group and take advantage of the help available!

Deviants

Friendly reminder to include a backstory with your submitted characters!  Don't worry if it's not fleshed out immediately.  The amount of backstory should match how far you are along in designing the character, so if you are doing concept art, then the character should probably have a name and a gender (or lack of gender), and a few basic personality traits.  If you're really polishing the character's artwork, then their backstory should be equally polished.

Finally, if you're not the writing type, there's no shame in teaming up with a writer to make a character that is both well-drawn and well-written.  If Hollywood does it, we should certainly be allowed to.

I'm creating a new "universe" with witches and robots. So... I welcome suggestions and thoughts on how this could be! I started with the Witches, and while I figure out the style, I'm thinking about what the robots could be like..

I know it says no canon characters, but what about a book character with no official design?

Hello!
I sent a note back at the start of August with some questions regarding submissions. Did it get lost?

Nope, not lost, it's just that I'm not nearly as active as I used to be, so I didn't see it until today.
