Lasting Impressions… (Part 2)

Cinderella is the one we all know. Sweet, kind, naive, she remains forever lovable, but does suffer monstrously powerful fits of anger of her stepmother. The unforgettable incident is when Cinderella leaves her glass shoes behind. The Prince tried the slipper on all the maidens in the land. And we all know the rest. Many films, Books an songs were later created based in this concept.

The next character that comes on my mind is Humpty dumpty
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again.”


This is another cute character. A very creative character – an egg. The fact that is an egg is not stated in the rhyme. I was actually a riddle. But since it became popular it was no more a riddle but a rhyme for children. A short, clumsy person humpty dumpty had fall and irrrepairable damage.

Harry potter is a great commercial success of this century. The story is mostly set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an academy for young wizards and witches. The success of the novels has made Rowling the highest-earning novelist in history.

Dracula is one of the most famous and a few centuries old vampire characters in literary history. Dracula is an Renowned novel written by Bram Stoker. Dracula possesses great powers .He can take forms of an animal, control the weather, and he is stronger than twenty men. However his power is limited. He is a powerless during day and becomes vicious only during night. The creator is highly creative to define such a character. Its “do's and don'ts”!! There are a few movies created with this character. The novel derives its source from diary entries, telegrams, and letters from the characters, as well as fictional clippings from the Whitby and London newspapers.
The first Dracula-movie was produced in 1930 with Bela Lugosi acting as Dracula It was then directed by Tod Browning. Dracula ucks the blood of humans and convert them into vampires. In 1931,Dracula was released with Baltasar Fernández Cué being the script writer and Carlos Villarías as Drácula
Later again in 1958, 1979 ,1992 , Dracula was produced and it became a commercial success.

James bond

James bond has been A Legacy Of Excellence and an action hero of all times.

Exotic equipment and vehicles are very popular elements of James Bond's movies and novels and its become a craze among many.
Spiderman is the world's most popular and commercially sucessful charecters. A number of movies, games are created based on spiderman. Spider-Man's most infamous and dangerous enemies are generally considered to be the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom.

Guess the creator of this superhero??
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

Creating a character takes time -- time spent thinking about how your characters look (appearance), where they're from, and what motivates them, its voice, list of likes and dislikes etc.
Its takes a creative Genius to do it!!!
