Longlegs

Another background character.

This is the character that appears a lot during my animatic. A normally short man who dreams of being tall, walks around on huge stilt like legs.

The first two clips show my first attempt at making this character, simply by making the biped legs bigger whilst they were still rigged. This made the legs fatter as well, no matter what I did. I played with this idea for a while but ultimately decided that it would look better if they were spindly thin legs.

So I took Happyman and coloured him differently, gave him a new head and remade his legs, this time longer. Then I re-rigged him.

Voila! The last two clips show my new character, longlegs. I think it works quite well.
