캐릭터 디자인에 있어 '패션'은 캐릭터의 정체성과 성격, 개성과 설정을 한눈에 뚜렷하게 제시해주는 강력한 도구이다. '특정한 시기에 유행하는 복식이나 두발의 일정한 형식'으로 정의되는 패션은 의상뿐만 아니라 다양한 장신구, 헤어를 포함한 메이크업 등을 아우르는 하나의 '이미지'를 창조해낸다. 현재의 트렌드를 선도하고 반영하는 실제 런웨이 위의 패션 디자인과 게임업계 내의 캐릭터 디자인은 서로 영향을 주고 받을 수 밖에 없다. 하지만 이러한 패션의 중요성에 비해 캐릭터 디자인에서 패션 디자인에 대한 분석적인 접근과 접목은 잘 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 게임 캐릭터 디자인과 패션 디자인 사이의 상호 영향에 대한 고찰을 하고, 패션 디자인에 대한 이론적 분석과 조형적 고찰의 접목이 보다 응용된 시각적 시도의 캐릭터 컨셉 디자인에 도움이 된다는 것을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 포스트모더니즘의 사상적 토대 안에서 포스트모던 디자인의 종류인 패러디, 모조, 차용, 패스티쉬를 게임 캐릭터 디자인의 사용에 접목된 예를 고찰하는 연구로 진행되었다. 포스트모더니즘의 사상 속에서 세상의 디자인들은 대중문화와 고급문화가 뒤섞이고, 우연성이 강조되며, 무작위적인 콜라주의 형태를 보인다. 게임 캐릭터 역시 이와 같은 요소들을 가지고 있다. 게임 캐릭터 디자인의 분야 역시 포스트모더니즘적 사상이 투영되어 있을 것이라 판단하였고, 이를 먼저 고찰한 후 한·중·미·일의 국가에서 제작된 영향력 있는 게임을 선정하여, 등장하는 캐릭터를 포스트모던 디자인의 분류에 맞게 분류하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop textile pattern designs by utilizing the prototype of traditional culture extracted from cultural resources in order to establish a specialty strategy for local cultural contents. To achieve this, the study selected the Hyojaemunjado as source of Jeju traditional culture. Jeju's Hyojaemunjado is characterized mainly by the creative and unique formativeness of Jeju's character paintings. Character paintings often contained images related to the characters featured inside characters, or composed stroke with symbolic iconography. The main subjects of Hyojaemunjado were stories that alluded to the Confucian virtues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to remind people of the real meaning of Shin(truth) by developing textile pattern designs, which borrows the tessellation technique for design, and the dominant characteristic of geometric abstraction. This study used theoretical research and empirical analysis. First, the study did the theatrical research on Hyojaemunjado based on literature and precedent studies, and then analyzed the style of expression and formativeness on the Shin character paintings through real analysis of Jeju's Hyojaemunjado kept in Jeju National University Museum. Second, based on the analysis of the style(three-tier composition) and formativeness of Hyojaemunjado, it analyzed the formativeness of the iconography about Shin, i.e. character types(semi cursive style, square style) drawn according to the symbolic meaning, palace, unknown flower, pheasant, tile fish and constellation. Based on analysis of the iconography, it stylized the motives that became available on the Archimedean tiling of tessellation, and then developed the textile pattern designs by arranging the iconographic motives with Platonic tiling and Semi-tiling. The reason why this study borrowed tessellation was to create various visual effects using the size of angle, symmetry and change and joint with simple figure.

선행된 연구에서 제안된 '게임캐릭터 패션스타일 유형'을 토대로 커스터마이징 시스템에 나타난 게임 캐릭터의 유형별 스타일링을 Creative Style, Attractive Style, Grotesque Style, Usual Style, Suit Style로 분류하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 게임의 특성상 가상공간에서 이루어진다는 점에서 현실에서는 구현하기 힘든 창의이며 융합적인 디자인 표현이 다양한 형태로 나타났다. 둘째, 게이머와 동일시되는 게임 캐릭터의 특징과 일반적인 신체비율보다 과장된 8등신 이상이 주로 사용되는 RPG들을 중심으로 분석된 만큼 Creative Style과 Attractive Style의 빈도가 높게 조사되었다. 셋째, 대체적으로 캐릭터의 의상디자인과 컬러의 사용은 게이머의 요구나 세계관의 반영에 의해 선택되므로 공통적인 특징이 나타나는 반면, 헤어디자인과 컬러에서는 다양한 표현으로 대표성을 찾기 힘들었다. 본 연구결과는 게이머의 개성과 요구에 부합하는 패션아이템 개발 매뉴얼 및 관련연구를 위한 참고자료로써 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

This study examined the relevant literature, reviewed local publications, foreign fashion magazines, and Internet data from 2000 to 2009. In this way, it analyzed various visual images that reflect cartoon and animation characters in case studies. This paper found some expression types, which are the direct expression of characters through print or collage, the borrowing of character images, the use of cartoon expression techniques, and the use of characters for the composition of clothing forms. Those expression types had some similar characteristics. The first is the expression of a kidult-like entertainment that reflected the inner psychology of adults trying to escape from a complicated modem society and returning to their childhood. The second is the expression of satire. Cartoon and animation characters were used as a medium for pointing out social irregularities and evil deeds that taught the lesson of good triumphing over the evil in fashion; they expressed the satire of the modem society and delivered a message of purity and hope. The third is the use of a decorative factor. Each character was printed in primary colors or expressed in colorful beads, and serial cartoon scenes were printed on clothes and used to make a decorative effect of fashion designs.

This study analyzed users' emotional responses to VI character design through YouTube comments. The researchers applied text-mining to analyze 116,375 comments, focusing on terms related to character design and characteristics of VI. Using the BERT model in sentiment analysis, we classified comments into extremely negative, negative, neutral, positive, or extremely positive sentiments. Next, we conducted a co-occurrence frequency analysis on comments with extremely negative and extremely positive responses to examine the semantic relationships between character design and emotional characteristic terms. We also performed a content analysis of comments about Miquela and Shudu to analyze the perception differences regarding the two character designs. The results indicate that form elements (e.g., voice, face, and skin) and behavioral elements (e.g., speaking, interviewing, and reacting) are vital in eliciting users' emotional responses. Notably, in the negative responses, users focused on the humanization aspect of voice and the authenticity aspect of behavior in speaking, interviewing, and reacting. Furthermore, we found differences in the character design elements and characteristics that users expect based on the VI's field of activity. As a result, this study suggests applications to character design to accommodate these variations.
