How do you picture the characters?

[Tiria Wildlough]

I usually don't picture the animals unless I try, and it doesn't work when you've watched the movie, but I just wondered if anyone else did.

[Gonff]

Sometimes I do, but it's not like a real picture. It doesn't really make any sense, but it's not feasible like I can't tell you exactly what they look like. It's just a slight image. I picture other things a lot more like places, rivers, and items.

Thinking back to when I had just read the books, never watched the tv series, I attempted to illustrate what I thought it would look like, sometimes I would do so as I worked along with the story.  I actually have stuff illustrated somewhere with colored pencils if I can find it from the late 90s.  I believe most of what I did at that time was relatively close to as the people at Nelvana saw it.

I just imagine them as people. Works every time.

[Nightfire]

I usually get very vivid images in my head. I've had a very big imagination since I was three, so it's not really a problem for me to visualize squirrels walking upright and carrying weapons.

Same here. I find it as easy to visualize Redwall as visualizing people

[Captain Tammo]

I usually have that movie playing in my head when I read a book. The characters are usually pretty detailed

[Dotti]

I usually have a movie of what I'm reading sort of playing out in my head as I read, but with Redwall, the characters are rather vague and based on the illustrations in the book.  I found the TV versions of Redwall characters too cartoon-y. :/

[Folgrimeo]

I was enamored enough with the TV show that my visions of the characters took on the Nelvana TV series style (before that I imagined Matthias as a generic mouse, Mordalfus as a fat doofy mouse, and Cluny as a buff bruiser). It's somewhat between that and a more realistic style. I always have it play out in my head like a 20-hour cartoon episode. Has the look and structure of a cartoon, but without the we'll-be-right-back cliffhangers. I almost never draw inspiration from the illustrations... except for Taggerung.

[Tiria Wildlough]

I actually draw some of the characters as humans.

[Osu]

I've never had a problem picturing the characters, like a "movie" of sorts, as others have said. I see them like real-life animals that wear clothes (when clothes are mentioned, anyway.)

[Log-a-Log]

I can picture the vermin easily, but I have more trouble picturing the good creatures

[Matthias720]

I find it difficult to visualize people, but I don't have a problem doing it with the animals from Redwall. Go figure.

Me too.

It's easier for me to picture Redwall animals then people too.
