Week 11 : Character turn around, poses, synopsis and quick description




After the characters are approved we were set to do their turn arounds and poses. Oh and also a quick description and synopsis of the story.

Synopsis:

Toki Lamat, was born without a shell and was a victim of a terrible accident. However, with the love and support of his parents, he managed to grow up to be a positive and curious young tortoise. One day, his home was struck by a terrible flood that flowed down from the city. The flood brought with it a terrible pollution which caused destruction to his home. Determined to find the cause and stop it, Toki set off on his journey to the big city. On his journey,  he meets a few interesting people that lead him to understand that the solution to his situation is not as simple as he thought. 

Introducing "Toki Lamat". His shell may be artificial but his optimism is real. He grew up by the river and helps out his parents. He is adventurous, playful and very naive. All in all his heart is always in the right place and his journey is not only for him to help his family but also a journey for him to learn about himself as well.

Although he has a big mission to carry out, Toki is still just a kid who loves life despite the adversities he's had to face in the past.


Now it's time to introduce ol' Georgee!

Georgee Swampson is a painter who is living a peaceful life in the woods. His home is cozy and his life travels at a steady, calm pace. He can be set in his ways but has lived quite a life and gives good advice. 
Ol' Georgee is livin' the good life. Everything is exactly where he wants it to be. His life and mind are at peace. Even though the outside world is the exact opposite.





Now on to Don!


Don is a forger who does mechanical work on the side. He is a man who throws himself into his work. He enjoys working with hot metal and has immense respect for his craft. He is also not one to settle when it comes to quality and is always learning new techniques to improve his skill. He can be very blunt and come off brash to strangers but he is a family man through and through. His family is his motivation and one of his biggest concerns in life is to make sure his kids grow up right.






Don's poses. Clearly a man who is enamored with his work. At his core, he is definitely a craftsman who has been forged in fire.







Last but not least is Malin!

Malin is a girl who was abandoned at an orphanage as at a very young age. Growing up, she's had to change between multiple foster homes. One day, she was finally fed up with the whole thing at ran away at 13 years old. Like her favourite animal, (Rabbit) she is quick on her feet; always running away from something. Her only concern now is to have as much fun as possible. Whether or not said "fun" is morally right is the least of her worries. She's now a girl who hates rules and being tied down. Living in the big city, she had to learn how to survive on her own and has the mentality of, "all she has to worry about is herself."






A rebellious young teen, Malin gets herself into quite some trouble. Because of this she is tougher and smarter than any other teen about the rules of the city streets. She's not a fighter, she's a runner. Confrontation is never really the route she chooses to go. She'd rather run and cut off the ties; clean and easy.

Assignment: Basic shape study



This assignment was actually a while ago but I've only decided to post it now. That week's assignment was simply to choose a basic shape from an established cartoon/shape and recreate said character.
