Musical Characters

To help inspire my ideas for turning the WT Band members into characters. i have been finding this a little difficult as I am used to producing detailed drawings I have often gotten carried away drawing the band members and therefore I often find that it becomes too detailed. I have to find a way of drawing the band members and characters in a more simple way so that I am able to easilly draw them several times in the sequence keeping then looking the same. In order to aid me in this I have been looking at other music artists that have already done this.

Some years ago I saw this music video by Linkin Park for the song "Breaking the habit" Linkin Park is another band I like and I particularily love this song. The entire video is animated in a Anime style. I was interested to see how the Band members were turned into characters for this video.



Here some images:

Below are some other examples of music artists that have been turned into characters.

Sum 41

The Black eyed peas

The Black Eyed Peas' characters have been designed in a vey minimalist way, using blocks of flat colour and designed in a way to make it look pixelated, I found this very interesting to look at. When I find some other examples of other music artists that have done this I will add it here.
