Character Development

This is my character for my 3d class. We have been working on these projects for about two months now, and it has been such a fun experience. We had to completely invent our own character and make an environment for them too!! This is Pingo. He is a giant scorpion. He was born in New York and grew up in a time when tattooing was not only unacceptable, but it was illegal! Pingo, however, had a gift and the drive to pursue tattooing. After all, he does have a built in tattoo machine in his stinger at the end of his tail! Its like he was born for this. He was kicked out of his home and shunned by his family and friends, so he went off to find a place where he'd be accepted. He ended up making a deal with the people of Coney Island. He would tattoo them in exchange for free room and board.  So now, he lives at Coney Island in one of the circus tents. He tattoos, and has picked up sword swallowing while there.

Here is Pingo's environment!

Pingo's environment is made of fabric, acylic paint, wire, foam core, sculpey, and hot glue. Everything is handmade. (2013_
