Character Design (the fun part :DDD)

 So for our opening we established our plot would revolve around a world ending event, however it would center around a young adult woman who seems to not care about any of it. That being said we need her design to heavily depend on 3 things: character, time period, and setting

The first one is easy, this character seems to be someone who may not have lead the most fufilling life before the discovery of the world impending doom. This actually reminds me of the main character of my favorite TV Show "Dead Like Me" in the show Georgia Lass is a young adult who doesnt seem to care much for any aspect of life. This show will be a helpful source of inspiration when it comes to writing and directing a character such as hers.

The next aspect was established by my group to be the early 2000s. This time period didnt really have a distinct look as far as setting but it did have a very distinct fashion and make up style. The clothing of the time seems to be marked by low rise pants, layered shirts and, surprisingly, RHINESTONES?? To be honest I did NOT expect rhinestones to be one of the most common things i saw when looking up clothes from that era, but something to consider when designing her outfit.

The last aspect to consider is the setting, America in the early 2000s was marked most distinctly by its pop culture for young adults of the time. Flip phones were common, facebook and myspace were the most popular social media, and Pop-punk and r&b were on a rise.

Given all of these aspects i put together a mood board of what I personally envision the character to look like.
