contemplating a project, would need facial expressions |
Quote |
I have a couple of potential projects, one is an interactive web app (pHTML) and the other is a YouTube video channel. In both cases I am considering adding an avatar to either express an emotion or to emphasize the text/audio. At this time I am thinking I need a character, just a head unless someone convinces me I need more (or chibi), and I need a set of approx. 24 expressions. I think that is enough to cover my needs. Ideally they would each capture a particular emotion unequivocally and without ambiguity, although that might be hard, I know.
I would appreciate opinions from artists about how difficult/expensive such a project would be. If you have any questions or suggestions, I am anxious to hear them. Thanks.

This is actually a very common practice piece/layout project with character artists. If you google "Expression Chart" or "anime expressions" you'll get lots and lots of examples.
Difficulty would be pretty low in my opinion, and cost- as you'd likely guess well that's completely random.

I have looked at the examples on Google and there are two immediate problems I see. First is copyright and second is coverage. I was thinking of commissioning one or more sets so that I knew there was no copyright issues and I could get a full set of expressions (like surprised by a gift, happy; surprised by a spider, frightened; surprised by a change of plans, disappointed; not simply surprised) and I might have reason to request changes to some of them after I see them and find them close but not quite what I'm going for.
I forgot to mention, I have a general idea that the character should be a girl, that is female and not adult. Otherwise I am leaving as much latitude to the project as possible in hopes of being pleasantly surprised.

Is there a specific timeline/date you're looking to have this completed by?
If you're still scouting options PM me, we can see if schedules line up- I can be fairly swamped at times and not be the best option if you're working on a close deadline.

It occurs to me that I could use a logo for the video series and I am thinking about a scruffy looking alley cat. Anyone ever done that sort of thing?
