Character Design

I have started work on a character design for Pixel. The initial idea was to have a Geek character to represent the channel. Below is a rough sketch I came up with which I quite liked.



















I then used the sketch to work on a cleaner design which I did in Illustrator.


After doing the Illustrator version I actually quite like the attributes of the character and I think the cartoony look has quite a good appeal. Once I have made my character in 3D I may consider using cel rendering to get an alternative effect as I think this could stylize the pieces of animation quite nicely.
