Sasquatch Character Design

This was for my Character Animation class, design a character that I would have to animate throughout the semester.

My first design was of a sasquatch,  I wanted to do something ironic. First I did a gentle version of sasquatch who would try to appear scary but looked too nice. Then I did dwarf version of sasquatch which is ironic because sasquatch is usually seen as tall.

This was my favorite attitude, an effeminate sasquatch or better yet, Metro Bigfoot. I went with a design that made him seem civilized and smart by giving him big eyes and hair that seems groomed.

My teacher pointed out that my character needed more ape like qualities so I ended up changing the nose to look more like nostrils. I exaggerated the hair to look more stylized.

This was the final rough design I came up with, only real difference is that I made him more slender. Overall I was happy with the design but I think my first version of Metro Bigfoot is my favorite.
