I think the thing about a boring character is its purpose to be boring and its themes and thought put into it. A character boring because its good to think of its insight and the details of that said boring character. If theres no depth and effort into it, that makes it a rushed or lazy boring character. I am think characters made specifically to be like this one are very good and interesting, even favored for their attitude and impact of their behavior.

That’s something I feel is important for an artist to learn: there’s no “right” way to draw a character, but there’s ways of making them fit your idea. Like, for a boring character who’s a bit bureaucratic and dry, you’ll want no harsh angles, less dynamic posture, a less saturated and eclectic color palette. It won’t work for every character, but it works for this one. Take your tools and use them in every way, not just one way.

Therefore casting that the job this person delivers is more important than the character itself

One character though, didn’t have a character arc, and I couldn’t think of what to do with her as I wanted her to have a villain arc but I kept thinking of things that wouldn’t work with her design. Thankfully I asked my co-writer what they thought I should do and I’m glad I did because they’re a genius and really helped with it!

I mean, you explained it WHILE explaining it! Out of any cast, a good character is a good character for their identifiable and memorable traits… like Roz! People latched onto “You forgot to file your paperwork, Wazowski” and her attitude because in the fast-paced story focused very much on timing and racing against the clock, a slow (cheekily slow) moving character that wants paperwork more than any sort of drama is unique and memorable!
