Out of all the projects we did for Animation 2270, the Creepy Character project was one of the most difficult for me. For starters, I was to pick out several animals and machines and consider their behaviors; these behaviors are what I would use to create my creepy character. I chose a polar bear and a mixer. I don’t usually create anything creepy, so I really had to consider the guidance of the upperclassman and think about things I myself would consider to be creepy. I have trypophobia, or a fear of holes, so I knew applying this to my project would make me uncomfortable throughout our entire project. I also tried to shy away from very rounded shapes, as they tend to make characters more inviting, so adding spikes and the pointy cone for a foot helped make my character, Pogo, creepy. I also gave my character abnormal pupils to further assist in making him creepy.
