Make use of the character prototypes created using CHARAT on designing the final character
Akira here!
I have used the CHARAT character generators for a long time, mainly for the designs of characters in my unreleased doujin Pokemon fan anime! On the event I got the idea of Madoka in my mind, I struggled with her design and wonder where to get the right design of this character. Then I created the above image using CHARAT GENESIS, and with a piece of paper I brought down, I sketched the basic structure of that character and then recreate the clothing of the prototype on the image drawn on the paper. The result is not quite like the original, but still, it looks fine, and I'm satisfied with the result.
Despite I designed Karen Kitashirakawa and Mary Knowledge without CHARAT, I created their clothing based on the Touhou characters Hong Meiling (for Karen, since her mother is implied to be Chinese-American) and Patchouli Knowledge (for Mary, since Mary is the daughter of Patchouli in my Touhou AU).
Actually, almost every art renderings of Reira Hayato and Jane are based on their prototypes created using CHARAT, but I'm planning to redesign them some time later using CHARAT (what else?). I'm also planning to redesign my anime-styled avatar and pfp using CHARAT, as the original image of the avatar might have some copyright issues regarding Undertale because of my use of my (fan-made) Flowey image as the Third Eye. In the new avatar, there will be no Third Eye anymore, as I identified myself to myself (the true me), not to some random Touhou character who can make herself invisible anymore.
So have you satisfied with my method of designing Madoka Okazaki? Like this post or leave a comment below!
