Character Design: Labs

These are a couple different renditions of a design I did for a friend of a labrador retriever puppy. I absolutely love character design. It's so fascinating, and may very well be my job of choice when it comes to the film/animation industry. There's so much psychology between designing the look of the character based on who they are.

Take these pups for example. I tried to exaggerate certain features which our minds idenify as "cute". Big eyes, huge head compared to the chubby body, big paws which tell us that these pups are probably a bit clumsy when they walk or run, and of course, the large floppy ears. I absolutely love the science behind it all, it gives me a great excuse to go and study sociology/psychology.
