Make interesting characters with this method

The character gauntlet is a character making method, where I make 8 characters starting with traits and description, add them to a bracket, and each round I expand the story and visuals until 1 character wins. 3D modeling is done in Blender.
Why did I do this? Mostly as writing practice.

I get that, but sometimes there are difficulties/problems, things that need to be figured out to make a good character, they definitly werent bad though.

[@cloudshifter]

Usually a good character is tailor made for a story. A lot of people make characters and then don't know what to do with them. First you figure out what story you wanna make and then you build the characters based on the story. The basic is this: Negative experience (never positive) leads to -> worldview (for example: I lost someone when I was young and I wasn't strong enough then leading to "Strength is the only thing that matters, if I am strong I can protect anyone") -> how the person interacts in his life with anything and anyone (based on that worldview), (you can also add a bonus such as "the lie they say to not admit their true beliefs" to others and to themselves). That should be more than enough to make a basic level compelling character. Motives wants and needs usually don't matter unlike popular opinion since humans change their wants and needs constantly and they are rarely defined by only their goal. However their goal, want and need are heavily affected by their worldview which in turn is heavily affected by their negative experience.

[@allmightygraemed]

Every model that you made looks so much like earthbound its nostalgic in a way any of these people would fit right in earthbound. Its probably the characters stance

[@herodoesstuff]

i'm so happy u decided to still use some of the other designs, i'm a huge fan of rama and was so sad when she got thrown away at first 😭 (also as a writer myself, it's so hard to throw away character ideas LOL, i'm surprised how easy u let some of them go) looking forward to seeing whatever u do w these guys!

[@scottvogel8477]

The cream always rises to the top. For real all those characters you came up with where really cool and I wanna see them come alive in a animated story of some kind.

[@JoeyCarlino]

[@nope3324]

I have been watching LocalScriptMan for a long time now, and so I was super excited seeing his videos mentioned here! It was really exciting to see his writing theory combined with your character designs and visuals! Honestly I hope to hear more about this silly cast of characters :)

[@andrewallbright658]

Just found this channel after doing blender stuff for a little bit. Holy smokes this channel is a godsend. Good stuff

[@Wince_Media]

I've been watching Local script man for a bit and it was so cool to see you develop characters from start to finish! I'd love to see another video with you making characters from a plot since you said you wanted to do that. My favorites are Rama and BT, but I also like Sola!

[@sabersight908]

this is quite funny when it was mentioned you want to make stories i instantly thought of LocalScriptMan for some good takes, it is always so easy to fall into the vague nonsensical story telling trap, where people only use broad and common misused terms thinking it makes them sound smart xD

[@mosworks2677]

I love your videos especially on modelling side, its unbelievable how you go about every character.. Make more videos on rigging as well ❤

2:33 this feels like its describing me(except the undead part, though I feel like that sometimes)
