Character Design Work Shop CDWS: DAY 1 Preparation Poll

NOTE OF REQUEST: I would like to ask politely for those who isn't participating to disable poll and journal notification if isn't too much of a burden. This is to prevent workshop related messages overflow your dA notification.

Thanks to everyone, I think I have enough people to run the show. Honestly it's more than I expected, so let's begin the workshop. For the starter I came up with 4 poll options. At this point we like to avoid any definite decision to prevent ideas locking into specific direction. Since it the first workshop, I like to stay within my comfort zone, rather than going over my head. (Which means we'll be doing a human character design and not creature or something else.)

I added few notes about the poll options to clear things out.

== Gender:
- Male
- Female
This actually is a 'definite' decision that can potentially loose interest of those who voted for the opposite result. In which case I'm considering to do design for opposite gender along side, perhaps much loosely but just to keep the interest.

== Age preference:
- Young (pre-teen) Someone who's a bit younger than teenage
- Teenager
- 20's
- 30's and Older
Age preference is subjective, a bit difficult for me to fully establish this choices. It's deeply involve style & skills and the viewer's impression but I'll do my best to express the choice made..

== Character Direction:
- Futuristic - Anything futuristic
- Modern - Every day character that we can relate to
- Fantasy - atmosphere with more of general fantasy image
- Neo Fantasy - something that has a world of it own. (Such as Alice in Wonderland)
This will lead to another line of options, so I kept it less vast and simple.

== General Personality:
- Evil
- Neutral
- Good
Rather subjective choice. I tend to keep my characters in a grey zone and not completely black or white. However this option reflect upon the character later in the design stage. It's better to decide now then later.

These 4 choices will give me a brief direction of the character that I can start working my imagination. However this is still not enough information to establish anything yet, so please consider this stage as a preparation. The next workshop would be the actual starting point with some more details. (I hope!)
