Hey Stephen I’ve got a few questions if you don’t mind to answer them :)
I’m a Student Game Art at the HKU Utrecht in Holland, and I want to work as a Character Designer in the Game industry when I am graduated.
For school I’m going to write a paper about Narrative Character Design (I’m not sure if this exist but that’s how I call it for now) And I think you are a very talented character Designer who maybe can give me some answers.
Such as: how do you begin when you create a character for an animation series for example? Are you totally free to come up whit a whole new person? Do you also write down the background story of this character?
A little insight in your Design process would help a lot.
once I have the description, I can pretty much come up with anything that pops out of my head, then it is up to the director if he likes my direction or not. the more info I have the better
Stephen Silver was born in London, England on August 30th 1972. Aspiring to be a
professional artist his whole life and knowing drawing would be his vocation, Silver got
his professional start in 1992 drawing caricatures in amusement parks. In 1993 he went
on to establish his own illustration company called Silvertoons. By 1997 Silver was
hired by Warner Bros. Television Animation as a character designer, and has been
working in the animation industry ever since.
He has worked as Character Designer and Supervisor for Disney Television Animation,
Sony Feature Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, designing characters such as
"Kim Possible", "Danny Phantom" and Kevin Smith's "Clerks" the animated series, to
name a few. Silver is the author and artist of seven self-published books on the art of
sketching, caricature and life drawing. In addition to working freelance full time, he also
teaches an online character design course at schoolism.com. Silver names three treasures to success
in life that give him what it takes to keep on drawing: passion, desire and determination.
