Shows allow us popular followings throughout the years, first beginning as small computer animated shorts and then later developing into full length movies. The characters are often high versions of human beings and put in a number of different comical situations that highlight certain components of their inherent character. The fun thing about shows is that they often go beyond the common limits that real life characters encounter and generally have no limits. Here are some tips for creating your own cartoon character.
Your Character Must have Personality
The most important element of creating a cartoon character is first establishing a number of characteristics that your character can easily be identified by.

If the target audience is adults then you can select personality characteristics an adult may be able to identify with.
Your figure should also be distinct from other existing computer animated characters because the final thing networks are going to accept is something that clearly copies a successful cartoon character from another network. You are going to have to think beyond the box for this one.
Animated graphics Are Key
Animation is basically about visual style first and debate second. You are going to need to put some serious time into developing a signature visual style to your cartoon character. Be sure that it does not look similar to another existing character. Don't be afraid to consentrate beyond the box and create something that looks different from any other anime style. You'll often have a better chance of people enjoying your new concept, rather than being seen as a copycat.
Making Contact with Network
Pitching your idea to any network or paper (depending on whether you are producing an computer animated television character or simple newsprint cartoon) is going to require the most amount of research. You are going to have to research and round up an extensive list of places that would suit your computer animated character. Remember, a good project will receive funding, but it must be presented in the right place and done properly. The internet is a great resource for reviews, network websites and information on strategies for getting an interview with a network.
Plan Your Interview
When you do manage to get an interview, plan a course of action for introducing your cartoon character. If they want, they will often want to see if you have an idea of how your character may change over time. Make sure you convey how important the project is, but also stay away from going as far as suggesting that it is a labor of love. Networks and companies will often decline to work with an individual that seems overprotective and inflexible.
