I decided that I needed to do some silhouette research before I could fully figure out how my Bounty Hunter character should look. It was interesting to have a look at the kinds of shapes used per personality, and if any of the characters have a similar personality to my character, I want to see what their silhouettes looks like and why.
As I've looked at in past year (and in the most simple of terms), rounder shapes often look friendlier and more passive, rectangles can be sturdy and grounded, with triangle characters seemly more 'prickly' and negative, often used as villains. Different combinations of these can make some interesting shapes, as shown above.
Quick observations of above shapes:
Wreck it Ralph; Ralph is less threatening and friendly looking; looks like a bigger version of the guy to the right? Sergeant Calhoun looks very heroic and action orientated. Felix is very plain, as he plays less of a role in the film, but still friendly.
Mummy looks super soft and friendly, wolf man looks very animalism is, tired/done with life? not very well put together. Drac looks determined, prepared, villainous from the angles but also quite regal. Frankenstein is similar to ralph, and non-threatening.
Megamind looks villainous yet silly, making his ascent into heroism much more believable. That one ginger kid looks less top heavy, and so less heroic, compared to heroman.
Baymax is very soft and friendly, extremey non-threatening. Wasabi isn't too threatening either, amon looks whoosh and mysterious, his build looking a little more action-orientated again.
