Here is a character I just started working on for a series of animated shorts I will be putting together. The character “will” be, like an (kinda) evil pre-teen genius that has some characteristics of an old man because of his pursuit to accomplish something (or obtain something) hence the receeding hair and bad posture. This is a very initial sketch and I am still working on his mannerisms and clothing. He will have a pet that looks just like him. Have not decided on what the pet will be. What I want to know if there are any cartoon characters out there that this too closely resembles, plus any critiques or ideas will be cool. I got the idea while looking at my thumb…lol. (and yes I know he has no mouth and ears…supposed to be that way.) ---

interesting character… I could see the posture working, also maybe because of the size of his head. You can’t really crit this because it is an original concept, other than to say what a person would do differently, but then who is to say… I think it is good for a pre work up… will absolutely gain character once you colorize it… cool little dude, don’t think I have seen anything close to it… can’t wait to see some animi gp ---

looks good dude, how about some hair,some stylised freaky/crazy professor hair-do. - the only thing that looks similar to me is the hands and that button, hmm where have i seen that before? ---

thanks, ya’ll I drew this during a meeting where I should have been paying attention. But sometimes I have a habit of recalling something I seen previously subconsciously. Like I said I was looking at my thumb when I drew it. Thus the big frontal lobe. I’ll keep ya’ll posted on the progress. ---

Soulty, What you’re thinking about was Simplistiks entry in the Gizmodo battle. Same kind of shaped hand and button pushing. The site with all the entries is down otherwise I would link the image. ---

yeah thats it, he told me he didnt even realise that… sorta like he mention before “recalling something I seen previously subconsciously.” anyway, its only a stance which i like, so all good. ---

I would hav loved to see it our of curiosity. But I think I am going to ride out our odd headed friend. I’ll post a colored sketch with a better pose hopefully tomorrow. Unfortuantely I got more pressing projects right now. It seems I can never escape reference to Simplistik. The thing with the button is when I sketched him this dude was boring so I imagined I had a button to blow his \*\*\*\*\* up. I did not show you guys the rest of the paper…lol with the carnage on it. ---
