This week Purple Fish gets the same treatment as Orange Monkey. I produced a sketch of possible poses for him while using a build done in illustrator. I tried to replicate some of the same poses in the Orange Monkey sketch. My immediate response is that Purple Fish will be a harder creature to build character and maintain variation. He is less intricate than Orange Monkey. My response to this will be to be creative in how he is used. I will place him in situations and put objects around him to give him maximum expression of character with his simple look. This means a majority of his character will be defined later in the processes. I have also explored the possibility of adding eyebrows. Following is the initial character study of Purple Fish:

I really like how your created a brush in illustrator to keep that whimsical feel of the characters. He kinda reminds me of the style of this one show on nicklodeon but now I can’t think of the name. For some reason I shy away from illustrator when inking and I use flash instead. I really should try making brushes or something! I do think that eyebrows would be good to added to make him even more expressive.
