Synopsis
Two different characters, one of a cartoon hippo and another of a flying skull; there will be fifteen fully rendered character portraits for each character that will showcase a different exaggerated emotion. There will also be a full body render for each character. The exaggeration I am exploring is similar to that of cartoons, where body parts are squashed and stretched or where characters change colours depending on their emotions. Each portrait designed will look at a different way that exaggeration can be used.
What motivated you to develop/create this project?
Growing up, I loved to watch cartoons and they helped me through a tough time in my life. So, I wanted to create characters that could replicate how I felt back then.
What has been a highlight of your time at Abertay?
Learning how to draw and designs characters digitally.
What are your hopes and future ambitions for after graduation?
I hope to become a character concept designer for video games.
