Anders, the animation teacher, had been looking to replace the model used for the rigging course with something fresh and new. My graphics teacher suggested he talk to me, since I love making stylised characters.
The instructions was to make an androgynous young adult with a hoodie and baseball cap, but I had pretty much free reigns from there. I played around some with the colour scheme and landed on the off-white, marine, purple and orange that is also reflected in the background shapes.
The official character name is Alex, a gender neutral name and I suppose an homage to myself.
Made at and for The Game Assembly.
