Character Design Beginnings

I find the female figure fascinating. The smooth skin, the shapely curves, the silky hair, its movement, and the like. Her body is a marvel to me, and I want to explore it. She can conceal just the right amount, leaving anyone guessing what's more. I love that they can do this; keeping me curious about how special she truly is underneath. The way she talks, the way she looks at me, how her eyes can say so much more than her words... her body language is astounding.
     Of course, this doesn't apply to every girl, because not every is fit or dresses in that special way, which is what I find attractive. But don't assume I'm that shallow, I do find much more attraction within her personality: I prefer to listen than to talk, and when I do, I want to enjoy having a conversation. I want to enjoy the laughs and the tough times we go through. Crying is necessary, and that's why I'm not afraid of it. I want to hold her and be held back, most of all.
     Among my interests, film & video is one of my favorites. I analyze a movie more than I should, but I do so because I want to make my own. Part of making a movie involves directing the characters. I think I would enjoy this part the most because I want to connect with them in order to bring out the best for the film.
     I have started writing my own indie film, purely for the sake of self-fulfillment. It's in its beginnings, and this is where I design the characters.
     You can see how I'm tying this together. One of the characters is named Violet. Although she's not my "ideal mate," she is the kind of person I would love to have as a friend. She has the qualities I've described earlier, and then some. For other film lovers out there, Violet is much like the character of Eva Green (Vesper) in Casino Royale, and like Nora Zehetner (Laura) in Brick.
     Violet is smart & witty; able to read people; very dignified. She's quiet and only says what's important to the conversation. In this way, she's excellent at avoiding arguments because she knows what is worth fighting for. You can tell that her words have "depth" as she talks to you. Her smile is constantly subdued by the "big picture" and how the situation can always be turned in her favor. That's who/what she is: a manipulator.
     You can always find her wearing a red coat, or red shoes, scarf, gloves, hat, or simply a red bracelet or earrings (but certainly won't wear all red at once). Red lips, usually grinning. Eyes a bit squinched, as if she's always looking for something.
     She talks with a little sass, but tries to keep it to herself. She walks with a strut. She's a looker, and she knows it. Violet does love a good laugh; she looks for a strong-willed man with poise, but doesn't have any trouble cracking a joke to lighten the mood.
     She's looking for a better life: a life better because of its simplicity. That's what she aims for as she manipulates. The pure-hearted simplicity in a man that can take her away to that distant place. Interestingly, the more complicated the man, the more fun she has trying to break him.
     There's more within the journal I keep of all aspects of the movie I'm writing, but that's what you need to know. I really like this girl, and would love to see a real life fictional creation of her.
     I hope this says enough about me and my character. Enjoy the inspirations.

Her eyes...
Her eyes say a lot to me.
Fantastic figure and smile.
This is the kind of moment I wish to always share.
This is strangely sensual.

Short summer dresses are my favorite.


The fedora. Violet needs a fedora.
I especially like the coat here.
