"Lacerman" Comic Character Design With Morphological Forced Connection Method (Mfc)

Abstract

Character figures are vital elements in a narrative story, especially with the presence of the characters in the story. Without the presence of characters with strong characterizations, a story in a comic will not be interesting to be read. This research will focus on how to design a comic character using the morphological forced connection transformation method. The final result of the research is a form of comic characters with a combined form of humans and animals where the process of making these characters can be a foothold for illustrators who want to make a character of a kind. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection methods carried out through a variety of literature studies, as well as tracing documentation data. The Matrix Manga Theory from Hiroyoshi Tsukamoto was used to give personality figures, the fundamental theory of Human Drawing from Andrew Loomis as a foothold to make anatomy. The final results of the study will be (1) New characters combined figures of humans and animals (2) drawing method to create characters using the morphological forced connection method.
