Zelarut!

A fun assignment for the class to do over christmas break!

Everyone had to draw a character designed from information written by 3 people separately.

One person invented the name and background information, another person wrote the scenario for the story, and the last person... I'll have to find the sheet of paper to remember!

I ended up with a character that was a giant short-tailed blind mole-like creature named Zelarut with muscular arms and big claws to dig underground. He was building a sort of revenge machine for someone having cut his tail or something like that.

Here was my first drawing

This character needs to be a little human-like, I thought to myself. So I drew on some black glasses! Look at those muscles...

Anyway, I got sketching and since Zelarut is building a machine I thought I should make him like a scientist. And also since he's blind I was considering making a seeing-eye guide dog to be his side-kick and helper.

Here was my final design of Zelarut. I'm pretty happy about the eye marquee accessory that is a digital screen, I was inspired by Daft Punk's helmets and thought that this could be a good way to show expression! I will do some more drawings of his expressions, should be fun anyway! :P
