5:22 This is basically the plot of most of the Kirby games- you play as a pink puff creature who cares for nothing but his lunch and there's Alien Invasions or wars in the background. No wonder it's a famous franchise
Hold up... the thing with dragon knight, that fits really well with one the characters in the game I'm working on really well. ...and a chubby bright pink rodent in a wasteland... bruh, are you following me on Twitter or sitting outside my window? These ideas aren't that unique and a bit vague but STILL!
I like how well you mix visual and narrative examples in your tips. Also I'm glad someone remembers that Lockdown, and that Hamster definitely brought about nuclear winter
3:17 I made a character that's a Bee with an Extremely Fluffy Tail instead of a stinger. As soon as I created her, I loved her already due to the design alone. While she's one of the few OC's I managed to make a coherent backstory for, I'm more of a Designer than a Planner when it comes to character design and new ideas in general.
Boy am I glad I watched this before my character designing session! Really useful stuff, thanks Brookes - and the visual examples make everything a lot easier to process :D
Aw man thank you! Its amazing how much I need these reminders without even knowing it. By the way, that hamster is adorable. Also can we talk about how smooth that transition was towards the end there?
Thanks for working so hard and delivering these videos to us every week! I don't make character very often, but your videos give me something to think about when it comes to improving my already existing ones. Your art is so wholesome, rare to see, but welcome.
I love this! Super useful tips and examples, I found the visuals to be very useful in understanding these. Also I love that hamster and am deeply invested already
I love the twist of lime advice. I have a lot of characters like that Example: A friendly kindhearted guy who's actually a demon An assassin who's 3 feet tall and a fish demon A genius who's only 12 years old
Y’know some of these tips can apply to storytelling too, like the juxtaposition thing or the 70/30 or 80/20 rule. I’ll have to keep all these in mind going forward, thanks for the helpful video!
What if I wanted to commission you to reimagine a Gamorrean Guard (and maybe other characters from Jabba’s Palace) as an Animal Crossing villager? How would I do that?
Oh that would be awesome! Im excited for the guard especially 😃 Just go through the order process for however many you’d like here, and then we can correspond via email: brookeseggleston.com/shop/animal-crossing-character-commission
The dragon in the armor reminds me of the show, Blazing Dragons which is a parody of King Arthur with the dragons as knights, and the humans as villains.
I hope you always make content! I can never find what I am currently musing about and I revist your page for some amazing design based content! thank you
I woke up at 3am since my sleeping schedule has been thrown out the window then processed to do my artwork, watch youtube and gaming back and forth Just went to grab a quick snack before the online class start and hoping that the pandemic won’t go so far that I gonna stuck in high schools for another year OMGGGGGGGGG

Great video, really appreciate the examples on screen. This video was especially helpful. Will you be doing more work on Biko's world soon? Just curious...
My fursona who is a wolf has a lot of energy yet can still outsmart opponents, you don't really think energetic and intelligent got together but they can, I made sure to give him some weaknesses as well
I have been watching these for a couple weeks and I have a question, I am trying to make a video game and I have a strong idea of theme and story, and I have the main character designed, but I am worried I made the main character too powerful. So my question is how do I know if I made them too powerful?
Late reply but if everything you throw at them doesn't affect them at all, they're probably too powerful. They need flaws. They could be a god, but something has to bring thwm down eventually.
Uh...gosh I’m sorry but I gotta ask, it’s been almost a year since the crash bandicoot remake thing and I was wondering if you’d I’d a follow up? I wanna hear more about your story and see what ripper too really looked like and what his story was!
Great advice! What do you do when you're losing interest in your characters? I've been working on them for 8 years and I'm getting bored of them and it's just not fun working on them and drawing them is just not fun anymore and I don't wanna just throw them away.
Brooke's question I've been asking different artist if they could draw a photo of someone and adding me to a photo or changing the photo just keeping some original features from the photo and they block me why is that? Am I doing or saying something wrong? If they dont wanna draw something why cant they just say no? It's not like I'm committing copyright frud I'm asking bc I like the artist style and i want a a cool photo on my wall.
Hey I'm making my own indie game and hope that it will be displayed on this channel cause i love this channel so much plz send back if you wanna get a free play when it's finished thanks to your character design tips i hope to make the best characters ever for my game ..plz send back..
Sometimes, you are richly rewarded for watching a video to the very end. This is one of those times. Solid end meme 10/10.

Thank you Character Design Forge! This will definitely come in handy when I draw the characters in my comic called “We need a Hero”.
Please, Character Design Forge was my father, call me cardiff
Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge hello Cardiff how’s it going? (If it’s a joke then you can see my reply as a fun joke back) 😁
I NEED A HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO

omg Noah hiii
Mismatched stuff is probably my favorite type of character design lol It's so unique and eye-catching, I just wanna analyze all of it with my eyes!
Boy am I glad I watched this before my character designing session! Really useful stuff, thanks Brookes - and the visual examples make everything a lot easier to process :D
Now I wanna see that secret dragon knight come to life! C:

Reminds me of shrek

great timing, I needed this! Thank you
Ooh, definitely gonna use this!
Hmm... I'll have to remember these when I'm able to figure out what I should begin working on. Thanks for the good tips.
I love this! Super useful tips and examples, I found the visuals to be very useful in understanding these. Also I love that hamster and am deeply invested already
Good video. The mishmashed astronaut character made me laugh.
This is exactly why I subscribed. Good quality content and advice.

Cooking with Brookes 2
Consider yourself as having learned about cooking
i use your advice for making good roleplay characters as well
your room looks so nice
I love the twist of lime advice.
I have a lot of characters like that
Example: A friendly kindhearted guy who's actually a demon
An assassin who's 3 feet tall and a fish demon
A genius who's only 12 years old
These tips are all so good!! Amazing job as always! 😄✨
Y’know some of these tips can apply to storytelling too, like the juxtaposition thing or the 70/30 or 80/20 rule. I’ll have to keep all these in mind going forward, thanks for the helpful video!

Great video, man! Nice job with those visuals to accompany your advice. That last part caught me off guard but made me crack up lol
I really like the format of this video, it was very engaging and easy to follow along. :) Thank you for blessing the TubeYous with your great content!
brookes is the hamster keeping you hostage
i read tHis as mE being the hamster, which thankfulLy i am not... XD im nowhere near Pink enough
1:25-1:40 Actually they did and in the end the protagonist learned their significance...
But he can't tell you because you're not a monk.
I WAS JUST REDESIGNING A CHARACTER!!

Wow, if this video EVER gets more than 99 views, I will LITERALLY make another next week. But that'll never happen

Examples are great when discussing abstract concepts like art :)
So Mayor Ben from Resident Alien has a TH-cam channel. 👏 About time.
"illustrate the point" LOL
This.. i need this since im DMing my first DND. Thanks alot for this!
Thanks so much for this!
Everything works in right context
Thank you for your videos. They really help alot when I need some ideas. Keep up the good work. God bless
Great video, really appreciate the examples on screen. This video was especially helpful. Will you be doing more work on Biko's world soon? Just curious...
Yes, absolutely!! Working out a few things right now

Uh...gosh I’m sorry but I gotta ask, it’s been almost a year since the crash bandicoot remake thing and I was wondering if you’d I’d a follow up? I wanna hear more about your story and see what ripper too really looked like and what his story was!
That was more exciting! Loved it
Making an effort to be 😄
The dragon in shining armor was a good idea. Sad and interesting.
Great advice! What do you do when you're losing interest in your characters? I've been working on them for 8 years and I'm getting bored of them and it's just not fun working on them and drawing them is just not fun anymore and I don't wanna just throw them away.
8 years is a long time- might be worthwhile to evaluate what things you like about them, and remix those into new spins on the original!
@@CharacterDesignForge I was not expecting an answer thanks so much for the advice truly helped!!
WTF little hamsty! Don't watch the end it's dangerous
Do you have a discord suver to chill and talk with other artist's?
I do, for all patrons!
My brain thought this was animal crossing..
woo!
Brooke's question I've been asking different artist if they could draw a photo of someone and adding me to a photo or changing the photo just keeping some original features from the photo and they block me why is that? Am I doing or saying something wrong? If they dont wanna draw something why cant they just say no? It's not like I'm committing copyright frud I'm asking bc I like the artist style and i want a a cool photo on my wall.
you know it’s a quality video when there’s only one dislike
Someone must have had a hamster phobia
Now it's 7....hey doesn't matter, people are just jealous...
Or they pressed the wrong button bc they hurried to write their story.
We have a team and our team we need a Character Designer. Know anyone that is a Character Designer or if u want u can join. Brookes
