Friendship, Brotherhood,
Bromance or Romance? What does it take to view others’ relationships
differently?
Through artistic drawings, I am
experimenting to see whether body language/positioning influences how the bond
between these two characters are viewed. From working drawings to finished
concept art, I want to find the factors that define what a friendship or a
romantic relationship are. The key factors I like to focus on are the facial
expressions of each character along with how the characters interact with each
other though physical contact or posture.
The reason I am creating this
experiment is to either confirm or disconfirm my own view about why other
people will view the relationship between the characters differently. My own
understanding is that the views of the different types of relationships seen are
based upon the viewer’s own experiences/idea of relationships in general. Using
myself as an example, I view the characters’ relationship as a close
friendship/brotherhood. This is due to the very close relationship I have with
my own triplet sisters. While others might view them as being in a romance due
to the similar closeness that they have experienced with their partner, rather
than a sibling or best friend.
With this viewpoint in mind, what
relationship do you view the characters in… and do you know why?
