As roughly 30 percent of the global population wear glasses, why isn't this reflected in characters?
I couldn't stop myself from wondering why but rather than sit by, I decided to have a crack at creating a new character with glasses but with a little twist, I like all my characters to have a part of me within them and I thought that maybe could inherit one of the few passions I still have from my youth.
I love photography, it's possibly the only thing that I still retain as a love from my pre-teen years (That's a long time ago now) and I thought it would be quite endearing a fun to give her this passion in the same way I was when I got my first SLR for Christmas one year and I still have it.
Though Pippy (Pip) has a slightly nicer camera than I started out with but we all start somewhere but she does at least have a Fuji just like me.
I'm not planning or intending to walk her into the almost given nerdy-kid territory that tends to be attached to kids and adults with glasses, I kind of just want her to be like any other kid, just she has glasses and likes photography.
She's very early in terms of design and general concept but if nothing else I can at least do something for the time being that is beyond needing or being constrained to a story.
Here's some early test images featuring her, I hope you enjoy them.
