Piggor; or Why Character Design is Naked Bacon.
This one is old, but I still like it, so here it is in it's entirety.
I never got to finish the Armani suit - or the sexy nurse gown, of which you have been spared.
On a more serious note, I have always found that somewhat bad humour was an easy way to access untapped inspiration. As if some sort of subconscious lock tends to open up once you let your 'serious artist' guard down.
There was really no project linked to this exercise - just stupid fun, and practice.
1. Start with a naked pig, pork sausage included.
2. Play dress-up! Try everything, from 'Atlantean' to 'Zoot Suit'.
3. Add colors, textures and undies.
4. Accessorize! A purse or a meat cleaver, depending on the event.
5. Character Sheet; Piggor is now an art project.
6. King Piggor wants all this fabric to work in animation; hear the 3D guys crying yet?
