The
pig characters are an example of a character sample sheet —
preliminary sketches of a proposed "mascot" spokes-character
for a financial education campaign. "Wiley" was a similar,
award-winning character used for years in Nash Finch 401(k) education
materials. |

I
did a slew of rough character designs for an acquaintance pitching
an animated show, the premise of which dealt with super-heroes in
therapy — the characters are mostly off-kilter knock-offs of
familiar iconographic comic book super-folk and staff members at the
special facility treating them. Pretty fun stuff, cranked out under
tight deadlines... |
