Everyone has a favorite cartoon character, but how did they first come into being? A lot of research and love goes into creating universally recognized symbols.
So today we're going to give you ten great tips on everything you need to know about character design using amazing examples from Envato Market.
1. Choosing a Theme
Starting a new character design is like staring at a blank canvas. It's exciting but scary and can even make your knees tremble. The key to staying calm in this moment is first and foremost choosing a topic.
Look, this character is definitely on a marine theme?
What do you want someone to immediately see, feel or understand when they look at your characters? Let that feeling fuel the overall look of your theme.
Start by simplifying your topic into one-word answers that describe the character. Words such as western, retro, and futuristic all represent different time periods. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the words nerdy, cold, or villainous show more style and character.
Once a theme is chosen, make a list of details that will help reinforce it. Check off everything that suits your character perfectly.
Autumn and animal are two great words to help you with your theme.2. Development of the Background
Close your eyes. Imagine your character going through every stage of their life. From the moment they are born into your world, until their very last date, what kind of life do you expect your character to live?
This snowman simply could not exist without living in a cold winter landscape.The background includes all the basic information you need to know. To create it, immerse yourself in the exploration of different places, cultures, professions, etc. Getting to know your character is like making a new best friend. You have to know absolutely everything about them so that you can transfer the backstory into their design.
Below is a basic list of questions that can help you with this.
- Where do they live?
- Who are their parents?
- What is their job?
- Who is their best friend?
- What food do they like?
- What is their favorite color?
Everyone knows that SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple and works as a cook at the Krusty Krab. So, do you see what clues you can get from these answers?
How would this affect your characters if they were from the US as opposed to Spain? Or lived in different climates? No matter how stupid you feel, answer all of these questions the best you can, and even add additional questions to the list. If you need more help, start where you know.
3. Give your character a name and personality.
Hello my Name Is ___.
Your character is your child. You literally birthed him out of your creative mind just a few minutes ago, so it's only natural that you bestow a suitable name on him.
Does your character look like Sally, Joe, or Spot? Baby names are wildly creative these days, so why not be just as creative with your character names? Research the origin, meaning, and correct pronunciation to find the one that really fits.
And when you finally start drawing them, keep checking to see if he is still associated with that name. Maybe your character has changed from "Steve" to "Stefan", so if necessary, make sure there is enough space to change the name to an appropriate one.
People are attracted to individuals. Do you see yourself or someone you know in your characters? Just like with the backstory, make sure you understand your character's personality, from what he likes to the type of jokes he might make. After all, the more you know, the better it will eventually grow into a really great design.
4. Select a view. Man, Animal or Something else?
Deciding whether your design includes a human or an animal is quite a challenge. Maybe they're neither, but instead a pink hippie flower, or
Not every character has to be human or someone from planet Earth. And depending on your history, the person may not even be in good shape. After all, humans are pretty one-dimensional, so consider the changes that come to mind when you choose a new look.
The great thing about animals is that they can be both cuddly and ferocious.
If you're still not sure what traits your character should have, just create your own! In order to get the anatomy correct, you may want to give it animal or human-like features just for convenience. In the end, however, the rest of the details are up to you, so have fun exploring what you can come up with.
5. Tall, Short, Thin or Tall?
Have you ever noticed that assistants are usually smaller than the hero?
As unfair as it may seem, this purposeful juxtaposition allows the viewer to see the protagonist as a more confident leader than his smaller counterpart.
An amazing way to add a distinctive personality to your character is to explore different body types. Because society has already tied certain stereotypical personality traits to certain shapes and sizes, we automatically perceive a character's personality by the way they look.
Here's a hint:
Draw the head separately from the body of the character. Then draw three different body types and substitute them for the drawn head. Which one looks the best and why?
This example should immediately show you the power of choosing different body options. But feel free to go against established images so as not to fall prey to stereotypes.
6. All About Mood: Colors
All colors have meaning. So choose wisely to set the mood for your designs.
We usually interpret bright colors as happy and energetic, while darker colors hold their own. Red is the right choice for anger and passion. And green has huge ties to nature and money.
If you don't know what color to choose for your character, try them all until you settle on one that works. Experiment with colors, also choosing ones you wouldn't normally consider. Make the tough guy really pink or give the businessman blue hair.
Going beyond the norm will not only help enhance their appearance, but also make them more memorable to your audience.
7. Create dynamic poses
I know you want things to be easy, but be patient. In addition to the standard front and back views, try creating dynamic ones with a wide range of motion.
You can learn all about how a character feels or what they can do by paying attention to their body language. Take what you've learned from your backstory to create dynamic poses.
A good place to start is to explore poses through photography. General search photos say a lot about what automatically comes to mind when you use a certain word. For example, the word "relaxation" might show a person sitting cross-legged, like the upper left mouse in the example above.
Creating dynamic poses is especially important when presenting your work professionally. Have your characters jump off the screen and into your client's lap with the same energy they radiate. These poses also show that you have incredible range and adaptability as an artist, so use dynamic poses to show off your wonderful talent!
8. A bit of style? Clothes and accessories
Love to go shopping? Save your money and try on your unique sense of style with the fashion of the characters!
You can tell a lot about the characters by the way they dress. Every character ever created is known for their "uniform". Not to be confused with regular work clothes, your character's uniform is the general attire you'll see when he puts it on.
Create every uniform with precision. Pay attention to small details like buttons, seams, and the overall cut. Maybe your character is quite at ease in comfortable clothes, or vice versa prefers a nice suit and tie.
This cute little gingerbread man, for example, uses simple lines of colorful icing for the outfit.
When things don't work out, try to simplify things. In the end, you will have to recolor and draw this character many more times, so you can choose clothes that are easy to recreate, no matter the angle.
9. Character express emotions
Make a stupid face. Now draw it. What would your character look like with the same expression?
Expression is the ultimate communication tool in character design. If you catch your character at any point in the day, what expression will be on their face?
To learn more about characteristic emotions, take an old-school, traditional technique that artists have used since the beginning of time. Sit in front of a mirror and make a dozen different faces expressing a wide range of emotions. The eyes, eyebrows, and mouth tend to show emotion quite easily, so study these areas to determine the difference between each expression.
Mastering emotions puts you one step closer to perfecting your character design. Before you know it, you'll be able to create tons of expressions in the blink of an eye!
10. Test Alternative Versions
Design is an experiment. Perhaps your character would look better with a hat or a completely different outfit. Use your original design as a template so you can test out alternative versions.
Ask someone to give their opinion on your design at this stage. Sometimes we get so caught up in looking at our own work that we can't see what's missing. Are all colors ok? Do you need a haircut? The second set of eyes may notice what you missed.
When the desire to write a novel arises, the first question future writers ask is where to start? Someone starts with an idea, someone paints the plot in detail, and someone immediately proceeds to describe the landscapes. But, in fact, you can start writing with characters. Moreover, this is how it should be done.
Reading books, you can see how differently the authors pay attention to the characters of their characters. And, if a book with a wonderful plot, but dry and lifeless characters, leaves a small memory in memory, then a work with perfectly described and realistic characters will never be forgotten.
Nowadays, the American writer Donna Tartt pays great attention to the characters in her books. Reading her works, you understand that some characters look more real and interesting than real people. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Tartt deservedly received the Pulitzer Prize for her latest novel.
James Frey talks very well about character creation in his book How to Write a Great Novel:
1. A fictional person must be different from a reasonable person.
One One of the main mistakes of writers is that they “write off” their characters from real people. This is not bad if you take only a part of the qualities, and invent the rest, or exaggerate. The fact is that the reader will be bored watching ordinary people. The fictional person must surpass the real person in everything. It should be more emotional, or, conversely, more boring. His actions are bound to surprise and shock, delight or disappoint. Just do not leave indifferent. The reader will not forgive this.
Very important. Whatever your character is, his actions should be understandable to the reader. If his actions and feelings seem illogical to someone, people will simply close the book and find something better.
Also it is important to understand that a fictional person is easier to describe than a rational person. Why? Because he has a limited storyline, and you only need to describe the feelings and decisions of the character that the plot requires.
Characters are the material from which the entire novel is built.
2. A fictional person - subspecies.
"flat", "cardboard", "one-dimensional". Here we are talking about the characters of the second plan, whom we can meet in the book once or twice, hear a couple of words from them, and no longer remember their existence. These are, for example, bartenders, waiters, etc. We do not care what is happening in their inner world, what losses they have experienced, whom they loved and whom they hated. It does not matter. Such characters can not be painted;
a "full", "multidimensional", or "triangular" character. This is the type of main characters, including villains. The main quality of this type is that no label can be attached to its representatives. They must be interesting personalities, with a complex and complex motivation for actions. These heroes must go through a lot of suffering and know a lot of joys, love, hate, seek and run away, suffer and enjoy ... And, most importantly, they must have a full biography. But more on that later. You must interest the reader so that he wants to get to know your characters better.
3. Getting to know the characters
How to get to know the characters? In his work The Art of Dramatic Creation, Lajos Egri calls the character "triangular", and highlights the following facets:
physiological. This includes all the physical qualities of your character, such as his weight, height, age, eye color, health status, and the like. Although this line may seem the easiest to create, it must be remembered that it is by appearance that they are judged in the first place. Therefore, it is important that the appearance fits the personality of the character;
sociological. To form this edge, you need to answer the following questions: what social class does your character belong to? What church does he go to, what political party does he support? Who raised him? Was he a spoiled child, or did he grow up in strictness and order? Does he have many friends? What are their common qualities? And there can be many, many such questions. The main thing is to find out what your character is socially. It is very important to understand the dynamics of character development. He was not born the way he is now, he became that way. You need to understand the reasons for the formation of his character, only in this way you will get a realistic hero;
psychological. It should be noted right away that you do not need to be a professional psychologist in order to create good and high-quality characters. It is enough to understand human nature and be observant. Has your employee quit? Find out why he did it. Did a friend quit malnutrition and signed up for sports? Get in touch and find out what caused these changes.
This facet is considered to be the interaction of the social and physiological facets. Here you need to describe the passions, fantasies, complexes, fears, guilt of your character, and the like. It also includes emotions, habits, intelligence, self-confidence and various tendencies.
The greatness of the drama depends on how the author manages to create complex multidimensional images of the characters. thus, the eternal task of self-knowledge turns for the playwright into the task of knowing the heroes of his own work. The old "know thyself" call for the playwright is "get to know the characters as closely as possible." George Baker Drama Technique
4. Making the characters act
A very important tip - do not create inert characters. Have you ever read a book where the secondary characters were more interesting than the main ones? This should not be so, firstly, and secondly, this happens due to the fact that the main character turned out to be inert. In this case, he will avoid conflicts, be afraid of difficulties and struggle. Such characters are of no interest to anyone. Try to keep your main characters dynamic and able to cope with various difficult situations.
5. Create a character biography
Before you start writing the first chapter of the book, you need to fully create each character. The biography of the main characters should consist of 10-50 A4 pages. You should know everything about your character - where he was born, how he grew up, who raised him, with whom he was friends, whom he loved ... In general, everything that can explain to the reader why your hero became the way he is now.
Of course, when you already have almost the entire biography in front of you (it is recommended to write it in the first person), you will still have a few questions about the hero, the answers to which you will not know. Then the best option would be to character interview. Since he is a figment of your imagination, all his answers will definitely be honest.
You must paint all the details of your hero's life. Even if you don't use them in the book, and no one but you knows about them, you must write them. After all, you are creating a person.
Write the books you yourself like to read.
If you take all these tips into account when creating your character, you will realize that you yourself begin to believe in his existence. This will be confirmation that you have created a truly high-quality hero.
It is also worth including all the scars and features of the body. Each big or small scar has its own story and the character's reaction to this story, positively or negatively, with irony or nostalgia. The same with the features of the body, a large volume of lungs - runs longer, more convolutions of the brain - smarter, no finger on his right hand - maybe he is clumsy;)
- We give a name
Eh, a very important point in my opinion, but at the same time, logic recedes into the background if you want to call your hero some cool name and you don’t care that the name also affects a person’s life.
Let's expose ourselves to common sense and define it this way: if the actions take place in our world and in our time, then you climb into the directory and choose a name in accordance with the character; if in our world, but in the past, you give names in accordance with that era and place, it is possible without character, but with meaning; if the action takes place in a fantastic or fantasy world, then here you already have complete freedom of choice.
If you are stuck with inventing a name, then various kinds of geographical, astrological, biological and other reference books will be of great help - you open them, find an alphabetical index and convert the names of places, terms and phenomena into the names of your heroes.
- Life story
And my favorite part of creating a character is combining all of the above and building a complete person out of it.
The story, well, or biography of the character, this is the “grease” that will allow you to link some character traits with others and make the hero of your story “revive”. In the biography, it is also worth mentioning the parents and how they influenced the character, their personal qualities, something our object could learn from them, refuse something, they could force him to do something, how they spoiled him, how they punished him. .d.
If your character's behavior has any unique habit or feature, it's time to describe the story of its origin here, and make it as vivid and memorable as possible for the character.
In general, having the features described in detail from the previous paragraphs, you are already ready to create a “live” and unique personality, which has no analogues yet. You can do a little test, do all of the above for a character, then take one of your friends and do the same steps, and then let your friends compare and say that one of them was invented by you, and the other is a real person. So let them think who is who, and you will check how much of a real hero you created.

P.S. Guys, listen, who knows, I’m in my second decade and I heard that at that time, if you have scaleosis, you’ll straighten your posture. But found here"corrector" and there was a desire to buy. When I run, my back hurts terribly - I need to fix it. Has anyone tried these correctors? I want to take it, and I will, but I'm interested in the successful experience of my readers, who tried it? =)
That's all for today, all creative mood friends!
Anyone can be the hero of a work of art - from a cockroach to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. But we fully get used only to the image that resembles ourselves - that is, it has such human features as character, habits, virtues, shortcomings, memories, dreams, plans for the future, etc.
If your heroine differs only in velvety skin and elasticity of forms, then only prisoners who have already forgotten what a real woman looks like will be interested in reading about her.
Number of characters in a work of art
How many characters should be in a novel? As much as you can hold. In "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy, there are more than two hundred characters named by name. In the tale of the heron and the crane, there are only two.
It is believed that three is the optimal number of main characters in a genre novel. One character - the lack of conflict situations: it will be difficult for the reader to empathize with him. Two is already better, but someone else is needed to bring chaos to the relationship between the two main characters. Three is just right.
But even the intellectual novel and the mainstream should not be overpopulated. If the reader begins to get confused in the characters and forget who is who, this is a bad sign.
Emotions of the reader
When the reader wholeheartedly accepts the hero, he experiences:
Sympathy - approval and sympathy;
Empathy - the reader easily imagines himself in the place of a literary character.
For this to happen, the character must be charming. Prince Bolkonsky, Carlson, Cat Behemoth - all these and other memorable heroes are united by the following:
Reliability - they are described in such a way that the reader seems to see them with his own eyes;
The ability to imitate - the habits, words and behavior of the characters want to be copied.
Heroes to admire
In a good novel, the characters deal with their problems in a way that is admirable. Getting used to a successful literary image, the reader feels smarter, stronger, more charismatic - his life is filled with new colors. And this illusion of another "I" no longer wants to let go.
Ordinary person character
Many people think that the ideal hero is a simple person. That's why the manuscripts that come to publishers are full of faceless girls looking for love and boring men with a midlife crisis. And even more - characters suffering from hard drinking and psychosis. The fact is that the authors of such works are not engaged in literature, but in self-treatment - they describe themselves and their problems.
Who do you want to spend time with?
One of America's leading literary agents, Donald Maass, invites authors to imagine that they are on a train. With whom do they want to be in a compartment for the next ten hours - with a bright witty person or with a dull neurotic?
That's it.
If we want people to spend ten hours with our characters (which is the average time a book is read), the characters need to be interesting.
It's not about characters like Superman or Batman. It's about charm. And the hero can be at least a fool like Forrest Gump, even a misanthrope like Dr. House.
How to show a hero who has qualities that are difficult to convey in words (beauty, authority, fame, etc.)?
If we describe a beautiful girl in the standard way - what color her lips and hair are - it all looks like a template. But if we show her through the eyes of another character, describe what he experiences when looking at the heroine, then the scene will play in a completely different way. The main thing is to focus on subjective perception.
The same technique can be used in scenes with kings and other significant persons: demonstrate not the imperious sparkle of the eyes, not the noble landing of the head, but the feelings of another hero who comes to awe at the sight of the ruler.
We have already come up with, today I want to tell you how to create your original and unique character and give some useful recommendations that you will use to describe the hero of your story.
I must say, I was collecting my thoughts for a VERY long time and when I “gave birth” to this article, I thought: “Damn! There would be such a guide when I first started drawing, damn, how cool would it be and not have to go through all these mistakes! ” I hope you will forgive me for such a proud impulse ...
However, do not only read, but also use this knowledge in practice, it is always nice to draw a little in between writing, because in the next article of the cycle we will talk about writing a plot that your readers will like ... and this is again writing ...
Block A: character description
Want or need?
The first question I want to ask is is there already a character in your head? Two situations are possible:
- 1) You “need” to come up with a character to introduce him into the story ( for example, the main villain, or a love interest);
- 2) You “want” to write into the story a person who has been spinning in your head for a long time and who, for you personally, is “super-mega-cool”.
If you are the number one case, then it will be a little more difficult to come up with a character for the story, and right away I would like to give a little non-standard advice - stop and cheer yourself up. I mean watch a movie, play a game, go for a walk, generally get your mood up, then get down to work and try to love the person you are creating at that moment.
From experience I can say that you can’t imagine a good character if you are tired and dissatisfied, all thoughts will be directed to “what the hell is he” ... nothing will come of it.
Another recommendation if you “need” to create a character, but you don’t know how to make it ( no image in mind), then there is nothing wrong with borrowing the basis from other authors. But remember - it should be an idea, a "skeleton", and not a total copy. Take a character, subtract a couple of events from life, add a couple of your own, so to speak "tweak here, twist there ...".
If your case is option number two, then feel free to read the next paragraph.
Personality and character type.
I will not list all types of characters that exist ( like hero, villain, helper, girl hero heads, etc.) because I want the personalities that you create to be unique and inimitable, alive and real.
So, now in both cases we have a certain basis, an image in our head that we will develop further. The first thing to start with is to describe the nature of the character. How to do it? Easier than simple - we ( you and me, yes we are = real people) we show our character in every life situation, whether it is a gray everyday life or an “out of the ordinary” case, in the same way, the heroes we invent have their own line of behavior in certain situations.
Describe how your character will behave when he feels good, when he feels bad, because of what he can feel good or bad, sad or cheerful, place him in circumstances of complete uncertainty ( for example, alone in a strange city / parallel universe / outer space), how will he behave?
Describe his thoughts, feelings, emotions, come up with good and bad habits. If the character is positive, then come up with negative traits and habits that he will strive to correct; if the character is a villain, let him have a couple of positive traits, ( well, let's say he likes cats), to show that he, like all people, is contradictory. Describe the manner of speech, how he communicates with relatives, with strangers, with superiors, with inferiors, take into account his cultural environment ( farmer, worker, scientist, etc.).
Secondary characters usually have one distinguishing feature and almost always adhere to this line of behavior, you can not prescribe a detailed character for them, but do not force them to do things that are not characteristic of them ( be sad for the merry fellow, and be stupid for the wise guy).
I don’t know if there is a dependence of appearance and character as such, but at this stage it is not necessary to describe what your hero looks like, only how he behaves and what he thinks about at this time.
Come up with situations until you have a perfect image in your head and then collect all your handwriting in one file.
Biometrics and biography
Now, after we have decided on the behavior of our hero, it's time to tell why he behaves this way, what is the reason for such behavior.
I note that for the character of a short story, it is not necessary to do all of the following, it is more related specifically to large and developing works.
Now the points that are quite standard for character creation guides will go, note that every The paragraph has its own special meaning and is not done at random:
So, for starters, let's decide who we are "giving birth", a boy or a girl? You probably already decided in the previous paragraph what gender your character will be, but I urge you to think again, perhaps some behavioral traits are not characteristic of one of the sexes.
Keep in mind that there is such a thing as social education and ... how should I say sexual reaction to this education. For example, if a girl was born and raised in a cultural society, then she will behave in accordance with the rules of this society ( so as not to become famous "bad" and have every chance of a successful marriage ... natural selection, that's all), at the same time, the guy may start behaving asocially ( because of the desire to dominate among guys or for the sake of a girl), but if we swap them, then we can say that the girl is “not normal”, and the guy is “nurse”.
Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the behavior of the character and the environment in which he grew up before choosing a gender, and if you get a bias of all the characters in the same direction ( all girls or boys), then all the heroes of the story are of the same type, a good “bell” to introduce a contrasting personality and dilute the story.
Some people believe, some don't I am one of the first) that the date of our birth affects our character. From a purely practical point of view, you should also believe in this, because this way you can create an even more thoughtful hero.
Now you already have a complete description of the character's character, his gender and the cultural environment in which he grew up, now you open the Internet and look at all possible horoscopes and look for a similar description of the personality.
Once you've calculated your zodiac sign, you can go ahead and dig around and choose the day of the month to match the character, or just pick a random date.
Why is this all? So that you yourself would believe in your character, that he would become like a living person for you, that he would have a personality and patterns of behavior in accordance with real life, and if you believe, then your fans will believe, and then to the mass love is not far...
Now about age. Whatever year of birth you choose, you should understand that with age, a person’s character changes. Look at it this way, if a person at 42 leads the same free lifestyle as at 16, then something is clearly wrong with him. Age and cultural environment influence us every year, and we are constantly changing, for better or worse.
Indicating the age is also important to identify the social status of the character. For example, at the age of 16 a person is a schoolboy and he will act accordingly as a young and ardent, and not as a wise old man, at 20 years old, usually people are already students and behave differently, responsibility for their lives appears, they want “adult” experiments, but also the punishment in which case is already higher, and at 25 a unit of society is already working and she has no time for “school” pranks, she would feed herself
If they are within the normal range, then they do not play a special role. However, if our comic has a caricature style, then these two factors should be given special attention.
If the character is caricaturely large or small in height and weight, then only then does this leave its mark on the character. For example, tall people are noticeable in the crowd, it is difficult for them to play locks =), short people can be nimble, thin (pretentiously) weak and sick, fat people are funny and slow, etc. ( come up with your own)
Well, this is a very delicate question, choose a color according to your personality or because you like a certain color ... and that's it.
I would make the hair color correspond to the character, and the eyes to match the hair, contrasting or vice versa similar. In general, it's all "taste" so choose for yourself.
This includes all dimensions and curves of the body. Which? Well, for girls, these are secret “90-60-90”, the size of cups and clothes like them ( if you are not an expert, then do what you like), for guys body shape and muscle size.
It should be borne in mind here that certain curves and dimensions are not taken from nowhere and leave an imprint on the character's everyday behavior. For example, muscular guys have such muscles not just by nature, but because they go to the gym or play sports, this can influence their choice between fast food and healthy food. A girl with big breasts will attract the attention of guys and she will either be used by it or it will embarrass her.
So the shape of the body also makes your character "alive".
It is also worth including all the scars and features of the body. Each big or small scar has its own story and the character's reaction to this story, positively or negatively, with irony or nostalgia. The same with the features of the body, a large volume of lungs - runs longer, more convolutions of the brain - smarter, no finger on his right hand - maybe he is clumsy
Eh, a very important point in my opinion, but at the same time, logic recedes into the background if you want to call your hero some cool name and you don’t care that the name also affects a person’s life.
Let's expose ourselves to common sense and define it this way: if the actions take place in our world and in our time, then you climb into the directory and choose a name in accordance with the character; if in our world, but in the past, you give names in accordance with that era and place, it is possible without character, but with meaning; if the action takes place in a fantastic or fantasy world, then here you already have complete freedom of choice.
If you are stuck with inventing a name, then various kinds of geographical, astrological, biological and other reference books will be of great help - you open them, find an alphabetical index and convert the names of places, terms and phenomena into the names of your heroes.
And my favorite part of creating a character is combining all of the above and building a complete person out of it.
The story, well, or biography of the character, this is the “grease” that will allow you to link some character traits with others and make the hero of your story “revive”. In the biography, it is also worth mentioning the parents and how they influenced the character, their personal qualities, something our object could learn from them, refuse something, they could force him to do something, how they spoiled him, how they punished him. .d.
If your character's behavior has any unique habit or feature, it's time to describe the story of its origin here, and make it as vivid and memorable as possible for the character.
In general, having the features described in detail from the previous paragraphs, you are already ready to create a “live” and unique personality, which has no analogues yet. You can do a little test, do all of the above for a character, then take one of your friends and do the same steps, and then let your friends compare and say that one of them was invented by you, and the other is a real person. So let them think who is who, and you will check how much of a real hero you created.
That's all for today, all creative mood friends!
