			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always liked the <a href="http://zeldawiki.org/Stalfos">Stalfos</a> from <a href="http://zelda.com/universe/?ref="><em>The Legend of Zelda</em></a> because they&#8217;re understandable; you could tell very easily they were animated human skeletons, no matter the pixel count. The Stalfos in <em>Twilight Princess</em> strayed too far from this for my liking—they look like they were monsters even before death, and their gear was entirely too fetishistic of skulls (see: <a href="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080204080402/wowwiki/images/a/a2/Lich_King_by_Raneman.jpg" rel="lightbox[349]">Arthas</a>). </p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;d prefer to take it back to a more subtle form, as though they were the reanimated corpses of a defeated invading kingdom&#8217;s knights. They sport similar but slightly different heraldry than Hyrule to hint at a disastrous desire for power.</p>

It was colorful and adventurous, with a little grit, like everything was eroded by sand, wind, and time. That feeling made me want to explore creating my ideal interpretation of Link, with bits and pieces of his design that I liked throughout the years amalgamated into one. This definitely needs coloring to really get my idea across, but for now I thought I&#8217;d share this sketch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been freelancing on and off for a clinical research company called CCRA, creating the characters and print advertisements for a unified marketing plan they&#8217;ve started (You might recognize  the name from this site: you can find one of the ads I&#8217;ve done for them <a href="http://www.glassjawstudios.com/2008/11/winter-blues/">here</a>). I&#8217;m happy now to share with you the four original character designs they had contracted me to create.</p>
<p>Each was designed to model a different age group/generation, with a focus on creating versatile characters who could demonstrate different ailments, depending on the ad. Special attention was paid to make sure that they would not be caricatures; they had to be soft, relatable individuals to draw in those people afflicted with the disease each ad would target.</p>

The most recent one she suggested for me was a little boy and his dog, with a series of illustrations showing the adventurous flights of fancy the two embark on. These are the basic &#8220;real world&#8221; designs, which are intentionally a bit simplistic; this is to make them reflective of the dull nature of the everyday world, which will thus contrast strongly with the world of the imagined in the forthcoming illustrations.</p>
