Check out some explorations of my favorite character in a new light!
Here are some explorations of my original character, Sammy, created as an exercise for a character design night class at The Animation Academy in Burbank, CA with instructor, Charles Zembillas. The class was a great experience!! Charles is a very professional and motivating instructor.
