Blog Assignment #1: Deconstructing Characters

The first character is the Hero, Chance.


Chance is represented well by the colors of fire. Fiery orange and yellow are very bright, energetic and optimistic colors, associated with ambition and happiness. He is very driven and optimistic in his pursuits, though he doesn’t always think everything through, choosing to rush toward his goals. His personality is bright and optimistic as well, though he has a one-track mind once he sets his mind to something, which goes back to his strong ambition.


For shape, the shape of this bird in flight matches up with Chance’s character. The bird has a rounded shape to it that would be even softer when not in flight, but while in flight, strong triangular shapes are created, representing Chance’s powerful ambition and single-mindedness in his goals once he’s had the chance to “fly.”


Lastly, the lone sphere in this image, surrounded by darkness aside from one singular light source, represents Chance’s situation on Earth. He is surrounded by darkness, both literal and figurative, yet he manages to keep his own “light” glowing when others around him gave up on hope long ago.

The second character is the villain, General Atiri.


The shape of the Great Pyramids represent General Atiri in many ways. The solid, triangular shape and build represent his unrelenting stance against outsiders and change, which, like the pyramids, has stood up against change for many years.


Despite being from an alien planet, the colors of (present) Earth best represent General Atiri. The natural green and blues are not present in future Earth, but are prevalent on Atiri’s planet.


Strong, natural sunlight best represents Atiri. He is not one to be shrouded in darkness, and he lives in a place where there is no pollution to block out the sun.
