Say Hi to Beneze the character I designed for this project, she's a teenage rat detective who's rather cold as in she's not very expressive but she makes up for it with her cunning mind. My idea is she would star in a show targeted towards teen to pre-teen audiences and wouldn't be gender exclusive.

Initial design concepts I had for her was her with a trench coat but that felt way to clique So I took a more unconventional route making her truly more teen like by giving her a spunky outfit to match.


I'll mention something I struggled with on this project and that is trying to not be a perfectionist I spent way to long on the turnaround frames trying to make them look perfect and to a degree I'm glad I touched them up but there is a point where there's not much reason to making them perfect especially when you have a deadline.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This was my first line art\/color drawing of Beneze one detail that didn't make the Final Cut was her earrings I thought they didn't add much, I first came up with her design on oct 12 and did this a day later her design had few variations since I was pretty happy with the initial design.

When it comes to research I did for this project it was very minimal but I did gather some reference material from animal detectives I already knew like Hanna Barbera's Super Snooper to help me brainstorm.

Want to Thank Ava for the sweater color suggestion really makes her pop!<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Last but not least my initial sketch of her from the 12th, Here was focusing on the silhouette techniques I had learned previously and making her up of simple shapes, most of her design is made up of triangles.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
