Final desging for Willie

This is my final design for Willie, I chose this one as I believe that Willie and Cornilius are characters which share a similarity in the way they look, I hope to be able to show this when both characters are animated together.

Side

The animation scene I would like to make is having my characters bonding by allowing Willie to groom the gorilla. Gorillas are animals which would normally be surrounded by flys, fleas and all sorts of insects, this would obviously get willies attention.


Front

Cornelius

The gorilla will be the character that i will be modeling rigging and animating, here are some of my ideas for Cordilius.





I found myself going for the more 'lanky soft toy ' look so I designed a skinnier gorilla.Front view

This was the design I was most happy with, I know that I had to have such areas like arms and legs quite skinny so when it came to modeling, rigging and animating everything would be less complicated.

side view
I still wanted to keep the characteristics of a real gorilla in my character, that's why I gave it a large head, large forearms and large legs.


Although the design above is definitely more gorilla like I dont think it would be wise to try to attempt the modeling or rigging.

Willie Billiams








these are ideas of a design which i was happy with


I liked this design but i thought that Willie needed something more
