Goblin
Character Design

A character design project from my studies at The Animation Workshop. The first stage was gathering references and inspiration, covering anatomy, storytelling, and mood. From there I developed thumbnail sketches to explore different character directions, focusing on strong personality and clear visual storytelling. I created a full turnaround to understand the character from every angle, then worked through a few pose explorations before committing to a final rendered piece. I wanted the pose to feel dynamic and tense, and to reflect who this character is.
