Character Desgin Senior Thesis<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A lot of things went into the process of choosing my thesis topic. I wanted to create something in line with what senior animation and design students would be asked to do. I also wanted to make something of my own and combine my writing background and my process as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, as a character designer, I started by working with the characters as people. I wanted to think about what it would be like to grow up in a society so connected to the water but disconnected from our current society. By thinking about what was required by all four characters, I was able to start thinking about their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
