Ele-shy

Group Shot!!

More elephant characters!! This time it's Edwin with a little admirer there, trying to get a peek at what he's playing on his 3DS and his sister Cyndi, created by Michelle. 

Now that little ele-girl there......see, before Edwin, HE would've been a SHE and a cute one at that!! I was playing around with different genders for my main elephant character. My girl design was adorable BUT I just couldn't put a personality on her unlike Edwin, the shy introvert gamer fat kid.

Tons of Ele-fun

These are some of the final images for my 10-yr old elephant character for a Character Design class I'm taking.  We were set in groups and assigned a different family member individually.

He plays his 3DS there with his TRUNK you see....

So here we have extremely shy little introverted Edwin. Based him off the kids I would always see hanging by the Nintendo section at the Gamestop I used to work at. Also wanted practiced more of the retro no-line style that's currently in the illustration world (inspired by Brittany Lee's blog , Victoria Ying's , Megan's , XAV's , and even my good friend James')

Here are the 4 poses also assigned to show our character's personality. 

During the Final crit I was SO happy people were amused and caught on to that his eyes were super tiny and his glasses just magnified them. Also Gym class isn't exactly his strong suit....
