First Character Design of the Term!

Character Design-'Mr Stitches'

My first module assignment has produced the novel idea of adapting Birthdays into something dark yet comic, with an ultimate sense of repression and disillusioned innocence. What better way to create a foreboding atmosphere to a joyous occasion than to introduce

'Mr Stitches'

a melancholy and surly individual who's persona is greatly mismatched to his profession.

In short-He delivers Birthday presents, but doesn't enjoy it at all.

I've decided to record this as my first initial idea and character design, and to announce that with this first illustration I have kick-started my year at Uni!
