Reflection on the Hero/ Villain

     The first Hero and Villain I critique are from James.

     His Hero is pretty funny—Eric. It reminds me of the superman. The character’s body figure is strong and seems powerful, although his hat is kind of dark humorous, his overall look is proper for a Hero. The Saturation of both the Hero and Villain is fair because he doesn’t use very warm colors that have strong contrast. Hue for both characters is light, I don’t know if it is because they did it using pencil and highlighter. And brightness is high, maybe they left the cloth part blank so I see that white.

     The second Hero and Villain I critique are from Alex.

     However, he just posted his Villain but not Hero. I think his Hero’s animation is really creative. I especially love the fruit chewing part. The viewers can see the shadows very clearly by the way he’s using some simple spot lines on the Hero’s face. Facial expression is revealed by such impressive way, I like it very much. About the Villain’s animation, Symbolism is clear so viewers can easily tell this is the bad guy and he’s so big. Lighting also helped design the character’s mood, see villain’s face and reactions.

     The third Hero and Villain I’m going to critique are from Andrew.

     His characters is similar to Star Wars. But when he put the story background related to OU, things became funnier. Hero’s shadows is obvious. Light comes from top upon the head, created a symbolism for the character that let me feel he’s so strong. Brightness let me feel he’s a good guy. Whereas the villain is so different. Look at the second picture. The hue is usually dark colors. And he has black shadows on his face. Black shadows let me have a feeling that he’s dark and evil, which characters exactly belongs to this villain.
