Visual Communication - Sasquatch

My Sasquatch Character:

• I sketched the sasquatch face with simple lines and tried to make sense of how it was built up.
• I started to figure out shapes of my own I could interpret into the face.

• I really like this sketch, it has a good body shape and could really imagine it being bought to life.
• I like the proportions of the character, I think it would be amusing seeing it with an action or expression. I think this would be a good character to experiments gestures with.
• The only thing I would change is making his expression look more friendly.
• I like his pants and belt they look funny like a little sumo wrestler.

• I wanted to give it a stupid gormless expression, and had the idea to make him shrug.

• I thought about making him wave his arms in a weird dancing way.
• I also looked at how his facial expression could change to suit his action.

• I applied media to some sketches I was happy with to get an idea what the finished character might look like. 
• I also put an 'S' on his belt that stands for Sasquatch.
• I like the look of it but I'm unsure how this could work as a giff, there may be to much bold line work to animate smoothly?

The marmoset:

• I randomly looked at a picture of a marmoset, they have funny little faces and I wanted to draw it as a character.
• I thought maybe combining another animal into my Sasquatch might create an even better and more interesting looking character.

• I did some loose sketches of the marmoset, keeping to my character style then applied it to the body shape of my Sasquatch.
• The only thing that looked different was the loser spiky hair and a slightly different face shape.

• I then just played around with character and tried out some variations.
• I quite like the look of the lankier looking one, and the one on the carpet could be funny but I think the stumpier gormless one suites the sasquatches character more.
