Character Sheets and Sketches

Another large part of my animation-oriented portfolio were character sheets of personal characters I came up with.


A character sheet of a very old character of mine from 2003, revisited and revamped.


He can also walk on two legs!

Here is some of the concept work that went into this.

I already had designed this character years ago, but I wanted to take the basic idea and just make it better. So I didn't use any of the old art of him as a reference, I just remembered his distinguishing traits and exaggerated them.
I also wanted to make him look slightly 'tougher', as in this new storyline featuring him, he's not just a joker goofball, he's also the protector of two girls in a strange land.


This is Kari, the younger of the two sisters.


And here is the older sister, Niko.


Some of the sketchwork that went into planning her design. I already had a pretty good idea of where I wanted to go with it.
