*GARRY*
The Garry
Starring Garry
Roles:
Main protagonist: Garry
Side protagonist: Garry
Main villian: Garry
Side villian: Garry
Narrator: Garry
Tattooted gang member no. 4: Garry
+Mark Callaway And then a subsequent spinoff TV series that will make everyone miss the days when the movie was the best thing on earth.
+Jakub Orzech featuring Gary from the Gary™ movie series & Gary.
+Jakub Orzech Is this a fallout 3 reference?
+Mark Callaway *GARY*
In the dark streets of *cliche city*, a thug sells drugs. He sometimes buys drugs, and he beats up people when he gets paid. But deep in his heart, he really likes puppies.
Like, a lot.
GARY WILL RETURN IN THE SEQUEL, *GARRY*, ABOUT HIS SECRET TWIN BROTHER WHO LIKES KITTENS.
Jazza is also secretly an actor :)
+Daviieed Not too secret lol he's mentioned it before and he was in a Joseph play a few years back
xaayer Who's Joseph?
The Biblical character.
xaayer Oh ok. Thought so!
Daviieed and a singer, and a model
"I, I like puppies. Like a lot."
Oh, Jazza, how I love you so.
Gary is my spirit animal
saaaaame
Britt the Boot we need him in more videos
Britt the Boot same
"I really like... uh... puppies."
plot twist: Gary is Peter Banks after he ran away from his position and fell hard, creating a new identity to hide from those who are after him
elliwesis hawkens they do have an uncanny resemblance
Laura Beutter like they’re the same person!!!
He’s ran away and renamed himself gray
And the knight was his ancestor
Gary , who was Peter , doesn't want to get those persons after him to harm his loved ones and his weakness : puppies .
The knight is the great great great grandfather of Peter , who became Gary and he meets him by going to a time travel machine and deceived by his state , decides to train him to become the greatest
Oh my God, Gary: "I uh... I really like... puppies... like a lot", best line in the history of the world! XD XD XD
Gary is the best xD
+TreshToons he's an impostor.
I want to give Gary a hug. Also a puppy
+KuraiChan who gary
+alex youno That sounds like something Gary would say. Are you Gary?
Petition to have Jazza make an animation about Gary, Fadoman and Peter Banks.
YESS!! that'd be awesome
You've done character design.... BUT PLEASE CREATURE DESIGN!?
To come up with interesting creatures, you need to know basic animals anatomy and structure and after that you can combine them. Also, you need to consider the environment the creature is living in and all sorts of scientifical facts so that you can come up with a believable and interesting creature design
+DC Artz That's a really short and precise answer to a rather complex design process. Have my thanks and upvote, good Sir!
+XxlnFlaMeSxX At first I smelled sarcasm, but yeah.. I learned that from another famous youtube artist, can't really tell which one though.. sycra or someone else
+DC Artz I'd like to add, start with the environment. Where does it live? How do animals that live in that environment look? Why do they look like that? What food is available? How do they fit in the ecosystem?
You can't have a penguin that lives in a salt desert and feeds off of apples on tall branches. Penguins are made to live in water, a salt desert cannot facilitate an apple tree and the penguin is not built to reach tall branches nor sustain itself on apples.
Another thing you can do is take an animal you want your design to fill the role of, say savannah hunter. The obvious comparison is a lion, so look at the lion and try to pick out the mane (heh, puns) features. Quadruped, big claws to cling to prey, powerful limbs to sprint and jump at prey, etc. Keep it as general as possible, so no "short tail with fluff on". Now you have a list of characteristics of that archetype of animal that you can use.
+Machine Herald and dont make it smooth with short blank hair everywhere, show ribs and the front is bigger than the back. im sorry I got exited.... :D
Dude u should be an actor, the part where you're act as knight, business man and a homeless guy is really cool.
I want to hug Peter Banks
Mayu I want to hug the grey character...
Mayu same
If I have writers block or a creativity block, I just watch one of your vids and it doesn't matter what it's about. I just have to sit and watch and somehow be insprired
Late Night Thinker I just keep writing it's painful VERY PAINFUL but I have to finish books
How many costumes do you have?!
Not enough.
never enough.
Totally not enough....
Thank goodness not enough.
Fidufex many.many costumes...
Lol you cant be an intimidating drug dealer to save your life xD great video jazza as always
No i can't lol. I couldn't pull off 'badass' if my life depended on it.
Nice name
AgentCrazy you know it is costume armor right?
he pulled it off it wasnt supposed to be intimidating more like an young man who doesnt know what to do
when you write a story and give the impression that it's going to have a happy ending like 95% of all stories do, then suddenly have everything turn to chaos and the story ends with it tugging at your heart as everyone dies. I'M GOOD AT THIS!!1!
.........the trug dealer is funny and the banker is sad, I think the knight is just really really confused or insane
Haru Squid Articide he reminds me of light. Idk like smart but really no cares and stuff. Idk iwbwjsn
prepared for Halloween clearly.
3:03 he became Tom Hardy
that's what I was thinking
This is seriously useful stuff Jazza, thanks!!
good accent on the American! :)
+Cricket Law He sound like Christopher Walken, just a bit.
How to draw background /environment ? :D
yes he should do that !
+Nicholas Davis Huge thumbs up!
yes please
Definitely :D
+Nicholas Davis he has a tutorial
Is anyone else getting emotionally attached to these charecters?
Gary Just Gary and Mr. Knight Guy are the best. I want to draw fanart, not even joking.
Did you buy those costumes or did you already have them?
Borrowed the armor, and i happen to own a suit and a hoodie lol.
+Draw with Jazza You can't sound like a thug with your accent lmao.
+Go Away Please He sounded like a bogan so he nailed it
+Draw with Jazza i believe you own a hoodie, but a suit?! i would have never imagined
+Raul Claros Flores A suit?!? Everybody has one. But a hoodie.... That is veeery weird. You are very weird Jazza. :D
As someone who wants to work in the entertainment industry someday (to be specific, I want to write, direct, and act in movies and such) this is actually really helpful. I’m always one that doesn’t really like to have or overuse stereotypes and I hope to one day create content that will break certain molds and stigma around certain genres and characters. I know and understand to have a backbone for characters, most people start with a slight cliché, and from there expand upon those characters further. Thank you Jazza for making this, it’s super helpful and I will be sure to use these tips in the future!
haha, killing main characters cause it's interesting XD
reminds me of the series I'm reading "Warriors" where they make you get attached to characters only for them to kill em later XDDD
+Joshpro8423 or the walking dead. R.I.P Beth.
+Mark Callaway ikr
Or Homestuck. Everyone dies in Homestuck.
Hannah May Foulds true, true.
Schizzle Blizzard Very true. Hussie has no mercy!
As an artist and a table top role-player, this video helped me SO much. If I ever have a new player who wants to make a character. THIS video is gonna hit them right in the face :3
I'm a writer and have been since I was 5 years old: thanks for helping to make my greatest story written!
I primarily work in 3D these days, though I've also done a bit of writing, and I have to say that this is one of the greatest videos on creating characters I've seen. The knight was interesting, but I really found myself wanting to know more about Gary and Mr. Banks.
One thing I remember reading from "How to Win Friends and Influence People" that I found interesting, and usually try to find a way to fit into my characters, is that everyone -- even the most evil person you can think of -- believes, from their point of view, that what they are doing is right. It's something to consider when you're working out a character's motives, particularly the villains. As twisted as this sounds, even Hitler thought he was making the world a better place by what he was doing.
Love your videos, Jazza! Always find them interesting.
I'm writing a young adult fantasy novel and creating my characters was so much fun. Every tip you've given gives me confidence that they will grab people.
That "disabling characteristics" role is one of the most brilliant game constructs I've ever seen! What a great idea.
Very useful tips. Thanks Jazzar!
Thank you man. I have been following for two years now and you're the only one that has really helped, every time I get real stuck on all the projects that I've been working on. Keep up the great.
Whenever I get into deep characterization, either for original works or fanfiction, I try to imagine what the character's bookshelf looks like. What kind of books would they have? On what reading level would they be and what subject would they be on? What kind of knick-knacks, if any, would it display? What about the bookshelf itself? Is it simple or ornate? Tidy or messy? Did the character buy it, get it from a friend, or build it? Are there any secrets about it? Answering these questions can really flesh out who a character is in your mind and influence the way you write them.
When I'm feeling shitty i watch your vids, ty for your insight. It keeps me going.
is this draw with jazza? or dress up with jazza?
Why not both?
It's just jazza
I really like puppies. Like a lot.
You're my new favorite channel. I've been trying to find a good "art tips and tutorials" channel, and I've found one! Thank you Jazza!
For homework I had to do a documentary pitch and I had no ideas so I just made it about Gary's life.
The only time that a person is finished is when they are dead.
Sometimes not even then - DUMBLEDORE
And Ari... maximum ride
Or Jean grey...........13 times
Table top is my favourite. I have so many good memories. My warrior who suffered from ptsd and was emotionally wasted after the battles he had to fight to save the merchant he protected
"Hi, my name's Gary, just Gary"
Hello Just Gary, nice to meet you
*self high five*
I just had to pause the video to say Bravo @draw with Jazza, this video is amazing. I love the roleplaying and how you explain the characters! LOVE IT
Hey jazza i just wanted to say my drawing skills have increased so much in just a few weeks of watching your videos, I'm really thankful i found your channel keep up the good work!
I am currently creating a fantasy type book, and if it becomes successful or not, I will write that you are one of my big inspirations in the end. Thank you for this video, I'm sure you're helping way more writers than me:)
I love the fact that you have armour lying around...can't help thinking that might be Shad's.
Great vid...very helpful. When I am trying to think up characters, i tend to not get a good balance of flaws...they are either not flawed enough or too flawed...thing is i didn't really realise i did it till i watched this!
I'm sure I felt a single tear run down my cheek when you mentioned Tabletop Time. I miss it! And I need to know how that story arc ends!!!
Thanks Jazza! I was having some trouble on character creation for a comic I was writing, you helped me jump that barrier! Thank You!
This is by far the best tutorial on this topic I have seen yet. Really helpful!
This is epic, love your teachings and approach. I showed you to my college tutors and they said they would be out of a job if you were teaching at our campus.
I love how when scrolling through recommendations this came up with the preview with subtitles and it said "good allies and gentlemen"
This was a fantastic video. You outlined all the things I have been trying to do for my characters for ages and you explained it so well. Thank you so much :D
Thank you for this video Jazza. My confidence as a potential story-teller was recently shattered, and I'm doing my best to build it again. Your video has given me motivation to keep trying, as well as a handy trick or two to help me on my way. Cheers! You really made my day.
You really packed a ton of useful gems of wisdom in this one! Really well done, man! Love the character portrayals, too, got a kick out of that. Bravo!
you should do a series where you make characters using the design process. i really enjoyed the video and it would be cool to see more!
This is officially my favorite video from you! Love the effort you put into this one really enjoyed it and its extremely helpful! Thank you!!
This is easily one of my favorite Draw With Jazza videos!
Your not "nerdy" you are doing what makes you happy, personally I like playing tabletop games it is a great way to have fun and hang with friends.
Also Gary reminds me of "Alfrid Lickspittle" from the hobbit, not the actual character but the voice and the way he moves when he talks.
+Dabomba215 There's nothing wrong with admitting taht something is "nerdy", it's how we characterize certain interests as well as ourselves. Do you have nerdy interests?That's fine, you're a bit of a nerd and there's nothing wrong with that label. If someone has a problem with it then it says more about them than about you.
+Dabomba215 nerd
+Salty you know what your right.
Thank you so much! Really helpful concepts to start creating characters.
Very helpful tips you have here Jazza! Your awesome at what you do! Keep up the good work!
so i'm developing a story where the prison in a secluded town goes offline and everyone escapes. the protagonist (who is a bit of a sadist) and his detective brother are basically the only people who can do anything about it. i chose the main character because the wellbeing of the town rests on a man with no conscience. does it sound interesting? i'd appreciate it if you guys could give some pointers XD
Your friendly neighbourhood nobody that sounds awesome! very Interesting. keep it up!
I already want to read that story!
Thanks, Jazza, your video make me a lot of ideas for what i'm doing, you rock!
One of the greatest videos you have made so far :) I'm so greatful you did it .
I'm going to forever use what you have brought to me in this video. Thank you for uploading this helpful video.
When I'm bored on a walk or going to bed, I think about character, and their back rounds and their personalities.
Nice video. A lot of advice I give newcomers to my role playing groups, too.
I especially loved the way you explained Tyrion. And how excited you got talking in this video :D
Jazza, I just wanna thank you, you have taught me soooo much, and bestowed your wisdom onto me, and I'm super grateful, you taught me how to Animate, one of my childhood dreams.
You are my mentor, and I respect you in every way possible!
Keep being awesome !!! ^_^
Many thanks for this video Jazza. I found this very beneficial as I have been able to follow your drawing tutorials but not give the figure a different identity in a new surrounding because I didn't know what to consider during the post drawing process.
Thanks man the video was very informal and i subbed to your channel yesterday. I look forward to furthering my art.
Thanks so much for the disabling characteristics! Very useful for RP and DnD
I think everyone should use tabletop games like D&D to develop characters. Or just fill out a sheet; it helps so much. Just trying to roleplay as them in a table top games helps you figure out how they'd talk and what they'd do in certain situations, and sometimes adds some interesting backstory
Thank you a lot Jazza, I´m developing a roleplaying campaing (after ten years) and this video gives to me a lot of great ideas for my characters!
Jazza Love all the costumes. What is your fav stereotype to do for your free time?
Probably angry Scotsman lol
+cupcakemirin456 Monteiro to me it seems like you get tired of drawing details... I had this problem too, abandoning halfway because I was tired of it or because I did something wrong. You should try and draw with the big picture in mind, start with basic shapes, define silhouetes and only after that start working on the details.
1:33 (Character CONSEPsomething) Yea! I fully understand you!
Gary Just Gary is my altime favorite
i found this tutorial very useful and inspiring, thank you jazza!!
this was so helpful! I'm in the process of writing a new graphic novel and this has got my imagination fired up :) Thanks Jazza!
You post some of the most useful videos on RUclips!
Thanks for this advice, this is helping me and will always help.
Your videos are incredible. So informative and helpful.
i have this one character for a manga/ comic i'm working on, were he is perfect in every way he is kind , rich , attractive, he is ladies man etc. but he has one huge flaw that you don't see the first time we see, witch is he has split personality and he slowly changes in to a insane maniac thirsty for blood and this shows over time were he goes from a guy who cant even look at a gun without getting nightmares to a person who slaughters villages , kills , rapes and eats and drinks humans and even he starts changing how he looks as well were he use to wear nice cloths, he was a neat freak to he has scares all over his body , ripped bloody cloths and carries rusty knives and guns. he does this because he has a inner demon slowly taking over his body and his slowly breaking him and forcing him to doing these acts.
whoa
Sounds interesting but in order to be believable he'd have to have some flaws visible from the start. Nobody is perfect irl, and if readers see a perfect person they automatically lose interest. Even if he becomes more flawed as time goes on because of the demon/split personality thing, people won't care unless you build a real, flawed, human personality for him at the start. Then you can show how the flaws become more and more pronounced and so on as time goes on. (Not trying to criticize, just trying to offer helpful advice as a reader. Feel free to ignore me, it's your character after all lol)
Thanks for the advice , i love to hear feed back about storys and characters i write and how to aprove them, appreciate it.
that's a pretty great idea, none of my characters come out that interesting. the are all either so good they could try out for Jesus, so bad they are basically the devil incarnate, or there to create contrast with other characters or the setting.
tenshi Why does this sound a lot like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde?
This is excellent advice. Thank you!
You've reminded me of the time where I apparently shocked a GM by rolling a chaotic neutral halfling courtesan bard... Which was just the beginning of the shenanigans that game.
Fun video--loved the costumes.
Thank you for the awesome video !
This is pretty good. Thanks Jazza!
Very helpful, gave me the point to start from. Thanks a lot!
Great video! Very helpful. The Knight character really reminded me of Macbeth. Very noble and brave at the beginning, but power hungry at the end!
you're such an amazing actor Jazza! honestly, your acting talents might be higher than drawing imho but it's so awesome that you do so many different things :)
Can we get more tabletop stuff, Jazza? I'm still new to the scene and I've actually been using your guides to help design my own characters, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that you play as well!
Thanks for the info, man! Both ideas for Halloween and characters
That was really helpful! Also you're very funny, those characters were great! Thanks Jazza! :)
Forgot to say this earlier, but this is a great video. I'm trying to make comics and write stories for the characters and everything said makes perfect sense. It's just sometimes I don't think about it when designing the actual characters and crafting their story.
THIS IS BOTH HILARIOUS AND INGENIOUS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!
Wow! You're a pretty brilliant actor! I definitely enjoyed these examples you set up, they really pushed your points!
Thank Jazza for this video.
How convenient. I needed this, thank you Jazza :)
I was really into the characters in this video. A piece with all three of them would be awesome for the next Let's Draw.
Great vid! You're basically describing FATE characters, with being proactive, having trouble aspects, and all that good stuff. If you haven't tried it, I think you'd really enjoy it, and the core rulebook is a free PDF. And since you're designing your own system, you can build it on their engine for better marketability. You sound like you already might be duplicating a lot of it anyway. They have an OGL, and a pretty strong following.
dude i was thinking about making a comic and this gives me so mutch motivation!! THNX!
9:09 saw, pit and the pendulum, burred, 10 cloverfeild lane and misery all do that idea pretty well
You sir are a genius👏🏽really inspiring stuff!!
