My character is named Mr. Smiley. Mr Smiley is the former play mate and favorite toy of Coraline who got thrown out before the big move. When Coraline goes into the alternate world a now tattered Mr. Smiley seeks revenge holding a grudge against his once best friend. His patches show the wear and tear he endured over the years from ruff play and the junk yard no wonder he isn't happy with her. I first came up with a scary character for my brain storm that would fit right into the world of Coraline. Next I started to decide how he would fit into the story and the back story i gave him gave me more ideas for the final product. I used many layers while coloring the character after my initial sketch. Then finally added in a background color and shading to give the character a more 3D and realistic feel. I really like the result from the shading and coloring. The coloring outside of the lines and sloppiness really added to the overall feel and creepiness of the piece. One thing is for sure though you don't want Mr. Smiley on your bad side.
