[DAY 4] [RESEARCH] Characteristics of Others

When I went to Plymouth to search for an apartment for University this year, I wanted to take that opportunity to come up with a few ideas for characters (and maybe character designs) by looking around the marketplace which was set up in the towns centre. I had my mind set out for a different culture, or a different nationality all together, then pick a random English person. I felt mixing up the design idea or perspective of a character could really make them interesting then what we are already used to.
I wanted an idea of two or three characters which I will be adding into my interactive story. In around an area just on the far side was a German stall full of different accents and languages coming from that area, ranging from German (of course), Dutch, Russian, and the thick and beautiful Korean accident. There was a few which struck my eye, so I took a few notes down of a small selection of people.

Here are the notes of the people I viewed around the marketplace;

Corey

Hane or Cobus(?)

Karola

Huppel

From these notes, I really felt like I have learned something from these people whom I observed and had created a few ideas from them. I believe that doing this really helped improve my image and not create a character with a personality that is quite commonly used.
(Take note; These are not the final characters.)
