Dance character

College year: 2, 1st semester
Course: Traditional Animation II

My character for my class’s dance collaboration animation here: Dance collaboration. My portion by itself is here: Dance -wip.

Somehow I immediately had the character design in mind, a dark skinned cool and trendy woman (short denim jacket with rolled sleeves at the elbows, short rolled up denim shorts; then cool factors such as the military hat, dance sneakers, and fingerless gloves) with a long braid who danced specializing her long legs. She is sexy but mature, embracing her feminism, but with a splash of tomboy due to her confidence and in case she ever needed to kick butt. XD I chose a female character because I feel it’s a plus not only to animate a person but with flair that females are so good at—character. The long braid and short denim jacket were for overlap which shows off more animation skill. The concept drawing of Numbuh 5 from Kids Next Door in the retired online Cartoon Network game Fusion Fall was one of the references. X)
