Cornelia Willow Dangerstein, is the soul I chose to bring life in this project. Cornelia is a villain who dreams of taking over the world and the people, through the nanobots she places in coffee. My goal with this character was to create a creature that feels like a collage of two species. The inspiration for the character comes from my own cat, Willow, who happens to have a personality just as evil and detrimental to my health ( mostly to my skin).
I took inspiration from her facial features, as well by choosing to use the same yellow eyes, my own cat has. Throughout this project, I found Character Animator to be an intriguing challenge, considering I had never done a project based on animation before. At first, my
character started out with more vertical pupils, but after playing with character animator- I realized that her pupils would be more expressive with round pupils.
By making the character a patchwork of dog and cat limbs, fur, and facial features, I feel that I was able to achieve the look of a cat-dog mutation that draws just enough from each species to make the connection.
