A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.

I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy

Legs and arms!

They need alot of concideration, there is a differnce in length and size in the arms as well as needing to figure out influences and shapes.

Shapes and slowly trying to figure out what the character might lok like in 3D. I’m tring to keep everything loose.

I tried “kids style” to see if that would help, although it was freeing it only established that I like the legs with multiples and short but in a puppet it might be hard to do.

Quick initial sketches, they look abit too much like bee’s to me.

The shape is something I really need to work on and develop alot more and im unsure about the legs right now.

“This is Gloopman. He is a Gloop alien from planet Gloop moon.” (I cant figure out what that word says, I might later. I’ll keep you updated)

The first thing that captured me into working with this drawing was the colour and crazy use of the green. On the fist look I thought it was a Christmas tree until I read what Samuale had written. Then once I figured out that this was a crazy alien I got excited because it was a challenge to make this work and figure out what the character was really about.

One of my first thoughts which in animation should always be considered and peticularly in stop motion, is this possible? The answer as many company's prove is that most things are possible but they may need altering a little (with this project I hope to stay in the “a little” area and not stray into the point where its unrecognizable).

There are three main issues with the character upon inspection:

There is no body shape there than square. This will have to be my first task of making it workable and dynamic with a proper body shape and look. The balls on the side. What are they? If I make a puppet with them stick out will they have secondary movement if so that will be a large issue. WHAT IS IT? This is a big one and I really wish I could talk to the artist because this might require a lot of invention, investigation and pure hope that it works! Some of the good things that the character ha a lot of room to improve and develop as well as having a lot of variation in how the character can look. Hopefully this will be a fun exiting project but at this stage I can already tell the redesigning is going to be hard.
