FIGURINE DESIGN REFERENCES · Workflow idea

Check a character concept from the angles that matter.

Use a written description to prepare front, side, and top views of a proposed figurine. Keep the views together so a designer can check whether the character’s proportions, details, and materials remain consistent, then approve the references before using them to guide modeling, product imagery, or a public presentation.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A character or collectible description supplied by its designer or owner

“Prepare aligned orthographic concept views from a figurine description and hold them for design review before production use.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps designers and product teams discuss a figurine concept through a consistent set of basic views.

  1. Describe the figurine’s defining features

    Specify its shape, pose, clothing, materials, colors, and details that should remain the same from every angle.

  2. Prepare the three reference views

    Create front, side, and top images that are clear enough for a designer to compare.

  3. Compare proportions and details across views

    Check alignment, dimensions, pose, and consistency, and flag details that are uncertain or missing.

  4. Confirm reference rights and design intent

    Have the owner verify that supplied examples may be used and that the images reflect the intended character.

  5. Approve references before production use

    Require a designer or product owner to approve the exact views before modeling, manufacturing, or public presentation.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Keep in mind

Generated views may disagree on proportions or invent details, so they are reference material rather than production specifications. Have a designer compare all views with the brief, confirm rights to references, and approve the exact images before sharing them or using them to guide manufacturing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the figurine and project purpose

Identify the character owner and decide whether the views are for early discussion, design review, or another use.

Record features that must stay consistent

Document key proportions, colors, poses, and materials against which all views will be reviewed.

Check source references and permissions

Use approved descriptions and references and record any restrictions on the resulting images.

Assign design and production approvers

Name who checks the full set and who approves any later production or public use.
