Study Task 3 - Appeal

I tried making a character without choosing clichés by creating the character's background and personality before choosing any physical characteristics. I wanted this character to be an explorer who experiences some form of restraint that holds back his potential, like a leash.

Here, I experimented with how exaggerated, how cartoony and how mature Gordon is.

   I chose the youngest, cartoony design, since it's the most 'human' one, which is easy to read. The white diamond on his forehead is a sign of intelligence and helps tell him apart from other goats.


The poses describe his character perfectly, however he might need some improvement on his wardrobe, maybe a jacket.

Just like Mickey Mouse's ears, Gordon's whole head is a 2D shape, either looking left or right, since goats have eyes on the sides.
