原創角色創造過程/The process of creating an original character (Patreon)

每當創作一位原創角

就必須先從角色定位跟性格下手

想好後再來開始用ai設定跑圖形象

比如說女主角翠

最初是以同人的角色被創作出來

但跟該同人角色感覺上有很大的區別

於是就自己再調整

雖然調整失誤，感覺不對

但雙胞胎妹妹就這樣被創造出來了

-

然而光創造出來還不太夠

還要給她們專屬的服裝跟表情來增加獨特辨識度

好比妹妹真紅印象比姊姊兇一點

穿著打扮給中國服飾

感覺挺能打的於是就把這設定追加給妹妹

此時有人提議說過褐肉短男氣好像不錯

於是我就開始試著調整髮型還有眼睛顏色

一直試錯直到自己還有其他人覺得不錯為止

-

有些角色會依據外觀來取名

例如純玲就跟紫羅蘭有關

真紅是對應姊姊名字的顏色

河野静奈是從公連的星野靜流取名而來

其中髮型也試跑了很多種

最後就決定現在這種髮型為印象

而睡覺時會解綁當然又變成另外一種髮型

-

然而角色要湊成一個戰隊

通常都是5個人

太多對於新手的我來說個性反而太難掌控

所以5個不多不少剛剛好

於是最後一位女角調整了許多參數

起初是拿靜奈去修改

綠髮馬尾讓人想起聖火降魔錄裡的琪姬

覺得不太行於是就改了髮色跟髮型

確定好後，開始試各種眼睛的顏色看哪種適合

-

最後就是決定好登場第一印象的表情與服裝啦

還有可能會跟劇情有關係的名字

一方面這位角色名字是西方外來語的關係

還要盡可能符合角色個性

查到一個不錯的名字，可惜跟宗教有關的名字盡量先避免

至於為什麼還不能登場的原因

那是因為角色介紹設定還沒寫完+手指要修復的關係啦

總之請各位多多期待啦!

Whenever creating an original character, one must start by defining the character's role and personality.

After that, they can use AI to set and visualize the character's appearance.

For example, the female protagonist, 翠 (Midori), was initially created as a fan character but has significant differences from the original character she was inspired by.

Then, I made further adjustments, and although there were some mistakes in the process, the twin sister was created just like that.

-

However, just creating them was not enough.

I also wanted to give them unique clothing and expressions to enhance their distinctiveness.

For example, I decided to give the younger sister, Shinku, a more fierce impression compared to her older sister.

I dressed her in Chinese-style clothing, and she gave off a strong and capable vibe, so I added this setting to her character.

At this point, someone suggested that a dark-skinned, short, and masculine appearance might be interesting.

So, I began experimenting with adjusting the hairstyle and eye color. I kept trying different options until both myself and others felt satisfied with the result.

-

Some characters' names are chosen based on their appearance. For example, Sumire's name is related to the violet flower, while Sinku's name corresponds to the color of her older sister's name. Kawano Shizuna's name is inspired by Hoshino Shizuru from a Princess Connect! Re:Dive.

As for their hairstyles, I tried many different styles before settling on the current one as their signature look.

However, when they go to sleep, their hair is untied, and it becomes a different hairstyle.

-

Creating a team of characters is both exciting and challenging.

For a beginner like me, managing too many characters can become overwhelming, so I decided to keep the team size to five, which felt just right.

As for the last female character, I made numerous adjustments to her attributes.

At first, I used Shizuna as a base for modification, but the green hair and ponytail reminded people too much of Tiki from "Fire Emblem," which didn't quite fit the intended image. So, I decided to change her hair color and style.

Once I settled on the new appearance, I began experimenting with various eye colors to find the most suitable one.

I wanted to ensure that the chosen eye color would perfectly complement her character design and personality.

Through trial and error, I eventually found the eye color that best suited her.

With the adjustments complete, the last female character was now ready to join the team.

-

It's time to decide the character's first impression, including their facial expression and attire.

Additionally, I need to choose a name that aligns with the character's personality and is derived from Western foreign languages.

However, I'll avoid names associated with religion to be considerate.

As for the character not making an appearance yet, it's because I'm still working on finalizing their introduction and background details.

Also, there's the matter of repairing my injured finger, which has slowed down the process.

In any case, please look forward to it!
