WK6 HM

this was the early stage of the character below. notice the big difference in design. a complete make over was given to this character in comparison, only keeping the color of the character.
the character is balance vertically but I think that the tentacles he has for legs in this picture are drawing the viewer, sharpening the body of the character on the lower part, making the face of the character to be kind of forgotten since there is nothing else about this version appealing to the viewer, apparently no arms, glasses and a frown on his face.
I am trying to get into digital animation, and one of the branches in the industry is character design. here you see a character from the movie monster in the last version of the character. the artist really are able to convey the characteristic needed to pull of a scary looking yet friendly monster. I don't know how to use the syntactical guidelines in this case but I will give it a try. the character is well balance, there is not anything in his body that distract me, or that looks out of place. if we were to put a felt axis in his body as he is, the posture he has with his back hunched a little helps to balance the picture. even the lights and shadows seem to have harmony with the character.
