Character Conceptions – Anita

Blog

Lately, I have been filling out my sketchbook and getting all of the characters and concepts that I come up with more refined. Today, I wanted to share a character that I created.


This is a quick sketch that I have made for a female ninja character. My thoughts were to make a “sexy” ninja character. Sometimes when I was a kid, I was intrigued to the mysterious female character archetype. They were often soft, gentle, competent, intelligent, and trusted enough to get the mission completed.

In the drawing, I was thinking of making her wear a dark color like black, as that is what traditional ninja are depicted as, but currently I am thinking something a bit more colorful and fun.

I decided to do a few more sketches of the character, and decided to name her “Anita”.

It is the first name that came to mind, and I just sort of like the name Anita. Typically, I like to name my character in some kind of relation to their ability. With the name “Anita”, to some degree, I feel like it almost sounds like “a ninja”. I feel like its kind of a fun name, so I think it can stay for now.

As for background, I will share a pinch…

I envision her as a competent ninja agent. I don’t really know how old she is, but I imagine she is somewhere between ages 20-22 years old. I wanted to give her some kind of sex appeal or attraction, so she has shapely legs and a nice overall figure. I imagine that she is black, asian, or an “ethnically ambiguous woman”, (black and asian).

One of her main weapons of choice is her trusty kodachi sword.

Anyways, like many other characters that I have created here, I plan on turning her into a statue figure, and action figure. There are several other characters I have in the pipeline, so she may come later on down the road.

Anyways, I will post more on this character in the future. Until then, there will be other characters that I will share here over time. Thanks.
