The Essential Role of Character Lineups

[@modern_clancyboyer]

Tim, I love these process videos. I like how you call them tools. That is good verbiage to use with students. It makes them approach them differently and, I think, hopefully wield them more appropriately. I would love to hear how you make your comics some day. I'm currently attempting to write a comic script and have also been doing character design as I do. I enjoy the back and forth. It opens up what I think is a more creative process and is turning out work that I think will be better in the end. Thank you for all you do.

You noticed a good aspect of the design: the variations need to be polished. I hadn't thought about that before. Thanks for the post. By the way, I read 6 episodes of Atlas Core today. I really like the work you did, Tim (I don't really know if there is a sequel?)! The balance of tone and color, the line art, the designs and the sense of humor are top notch! I'd love to hear your plans for the future, new projects, comics, etc. Thanks again.

Mildly sclerotic individuals like me need character lineups printed and taped above the display to maybe this time remember differences in body types and heights. Nothing beats finishing a panel only to realize that everyone is the same height except they shouldn't be. I can never remember who's supposed to be 8 heads, who's 7, who's 7.5 without having it in front of me.
