This is from the animation and fictional world — an animation myself and others worked on.

One of the important characters in is a character (we later) named — .

The idea for this character came from a collaboration between (in alphabetical order): Charles Iliya Krempeaux (i.e., me), Mahour Pourghadim, and Soroush Eliasi. I developed the overall story for the fictional world, but — the three of us, through our disucssions each week, turned that overall story into narratives. And Soroush Eliasi turned that into episodes and story-boards.

So, we had the idea for this character — and now we had to figure out how he looks.

In addition to working on story development with me and Mahour Pourghadim — two other things that Soroush Eliasi does is — create the story-boards and create concept-art.

Soroush Eliasi had already created concept-art for the character. And Soroush Eliasi already had the character in some of the story-boards.

So, we already had some rough designs for the character. But, now we needed to work on finalizing 's design.

So, at this point — we were focusing on 's hair.

And this is where Mahour Pourghadim comes in — she did a lot of the (final) character-design. (Sometimes based on Soroush Eliasi's or others' concept-art. And sometimes completely on her own.)

Mahour Pourghadim created these different hair variations for the character:

The variant that I liked the best, and thus the one we went with (i.e., the winner), was:

I think this variant of the hair makes the character look more intimidating (than the other variants). Which is important for this character.

There were 3 other variants that I didn't like as much as this one, but I still liked.

(Perhaps one or more of those runner-up hair styles can be used for other characters.)
