When I first got this assignment, I was really excited about doing an animatronic, but I had no idea what kind of creature I was going to do. I decided that I wanted to do a creature that was mostly harmless since there are so many horror based creatures out there already. I still did not know what this creature should look like. After some thought, I remembered a little sketch that I had done almost a year ago while I was working at a video production place doing computer animation. I had drawn this creature thinking that I would like to do an animation with him. I had just drawn it on a scrap piece of paper and stuck it to my monitor where it stayed until this project.
