이벤트의 캐릭터는 특유의 소프트한 측면과 생명력으로 행사의 차별화 및 일반대중과의 친숙도 제고는 물론 무한한 상업적 부가가치로 그 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있다. 특히 위성방송의 활성화로 전세계 단일 네트워크 권에 있는 오늘날에 있어서 그 역할을 무한하다고 하겠다. 따라서 단순한 행사의 상징으로 사용되었던 시기에 명명된 마스코드(Mascot)라는 용어보다 이벤트 아이덴티티 캐릭터(Event Identity Character)라는 용어가 더 적합하다고 할 수 있지만 행사의 조직위원회와 국제아시안게임조직위원회에서 공식적으로 사용하는 용어가 마스코트이므로 그대로 사용하도록 하겠다. 국내 지방자치도시로는 처음으로 국제적 하계 스포츠행사를 유치한 부산아시안게임의 마스코트를 개발하고 그 활용방안을 제안함으로써 행사의 객단가를 높임은 물론 행사에 대한 내, 외국 관객의 기대심리를 충족시키고자 하였다.

Everybody recognizes importance of characters in theater animation that directly influence audiences through narrative structure. However, it is very difficult to make one. This study is about this process that creates characters. This study derived what common points were involved in analysis data of major/supporting characters' formative characteristics in various studies related to animation characters. Then, based on the data, this study analyzed how major/supporting characters were transformed to animation characters in the scenes that were animated at the beginning and end of film that were released in 2007. Finally, this study investigated the process of character creation using portrait based on the analyzed data. Although this study tried to approach to character creation objectively using objective data rather than subjective judgment of the researcher, the researcher recognizes that subjective thoughts could not be completely excluded since it is done by man's hands. However, this author sincerely hopes that this research can be a great help in producing animation characters through understanding form factors of images that makes character for short film producers who suffered from slow work process due to difficulty in creating characters or authors who failed to complete satisfactory work as they could not find slight difference in character modification.

The animation is expressed by fusing the character's aesthetic feature and action in the entire structure and such creation of the character is needed to approach with understanding its socio-cultural background and dramatic structure. This study has started for the reason that there is a need of making an animation character based on reality, as well as to develop a individual character and narrative skill at the same time. In this study, analyzing through the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) by the American Psychiatric Association, APA), I have been able to come to a conclusion in which the character's personality is presented more exaggeratingly than its ordinary tendency. So it is used as a means to occur a dramatic motive-induction and probability. Futhermore, applying the same condition of the personality disorders to the animation character has changed the narrative development and it showed a result that even the character is not having the problem of personality disorders, it shows the nature of personality disorders-like is being appeared exaggeratingly or increasingly.

The human face has "expression" as an important visual factor in contrast with general objects. For this reason, cartoonists draw shadow that emphasizes facial shape and facial expression in order to convey atmosphere of scene and trait of character. This shadow should be considered when doing cartoon rendering for facial expression although it is not an physical shading. This paper proposes a cartoon rendering system for facial expression based on shading techniques of real cartoonist.

is a comics that the original Yoshokawa Eiji's novel . Since the series started in 1998, it's epic that records the 54 million or more copies of the cumulative sales volume to 1.7 million unit volume average in the book, 34 are currently up to volume has been published. proceeds with narratives in a way of following naturally the personality of a character based on the rule of an author, which is 'people should be described as what they are'. Accordingly it features very unique characterizing. This study focused on the fact that numerous characters in maintain a structural balance through the establishment of a character composition in an antipodal relationship although those characters have strong personalities. In order to analyze the relationship of such characters, the study utilized as an analytic frame MBTI personality types theory which is a psychology test tool. First, the study inferred personality patterns as the temperamental characteristics of MBTI, and tried to analyze the antipodal character composition based on the combination of cognition and judgment which are assumably the most important functions. From this, the study was able to discover the following three structures applied to those characters. (1) The antipodism between Musasi, the main character and Kojiro, a mirror character becomes central to the work, (2) The antipodal relationship between their fosterers and the character playing the mentor's role extends the character attribute of Musasi and Kojiro. (3) The Yoshioka family was also established in the antipodal composition as a role of exchanging influences with Musasi and Kojiro. Through this, the study reached a conclusion that in the pairs of characters in contrast were established as if to reach a dialectic synthesis. As such, the antipodal structuralization of the character composition shown in is deemed to differentiate the inner sides of numerous unique characters; thereby make it possible to describe their inner sides in-depth. Finally, the following common context is found: works in the field of successful comics and animation in terms of criticism and performance are focused on characters. It is probably because their consumers are relatively very interested in those characters as the characters in comics or animation become differentiated from those of novels or movies. Subsequently, it is expected that the analyzed results of characterizing can be referred to during the production of contents by preparing the results as database.
