Initially I struggled a bit to design 8 unique silhouettes without just posing them slightly different. In order to begin, I had to distinguish the features that make Charizard's silhouette unique. Those features came down to: a long neck, two horns, wings, and of course the flaming tail. From there, I followed the advice of a quote to "start with a marker first" and brainstormed my ideas before going into Photoshop.
During the creative process, I was challenged to redesign an iconic character without taking away its identity. As for the results, I think my designs were successful in that regard. Overall, I'm proud of how my redesigns turned out and thoroughly enjoyed this assignment. Moving forward, I'm definitely going to continue using the marker trick more to thumbnail my ideas onto paper.
