New Normal Character Design: The Players
Wednesday, June 17, 2020 - 7:45 PM
So I had forgotten I needed to get these characters designed for this week's New Normal page and kiiinda ended up having to scramble! It could've been worse, I had a decent idea of what I wanted for them, and the fact that the play is EXTREMELY silly means that it lends itself super easily to character design, but WHOOPS, THAT WAS A THING!
So the director you've already seen, but next to her we have the costume and regular person outfits for the other actors in "that weird play" Shine is supposed to be in. Oooooh.
Spoilers Below:
Their names are Lewis, who plays the Mustachioed Villain, Dwane, who plays the Bearded Hero, and Nancy, who plays Obligatory Love Interest. Lewis and Dwane are dating. Aaalso Lewis' design (and meant to be mannerisms, we'll see if I pull that off) are based off Linkara/Lewis Lovhaug...and Dwane's based of Dwane The Rock Johnson...because I am a colossal nerd and it made me giggle like an idiot. This is stuff I could bury. No one else would know...but I'm not. Nancy...Nancy just sorta inserted herself in the scene because it felt unbalanced without her. I like her. She's sweet.I had originally intended there to be more people involved in the play, and who knows, maybe there are for the actual production, but then I changed the play location from a theatre to outside and got rid of all that nice obfuscating stuff like walls and curtains to make being unspecific with numbers easy!
And sometimes it's sexy.
