Character Design with Stephen Silver



Here is a design of a charcter named Jerry Loomy based on a description provided by cartoonist Stephen Silver, for an assignment in his Character Design course (which I am currently taking).

My main inspirations for the character based on the character brief were actors Danny Devito and George C. Scott. Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by.

I can see sweat trickling down ya cheek,
Your heartbeat sounds like Sasquash feet,
Thundering, Shaking the Concrete.
