Female character

The next part of my animation involves the big reveal that the character is not really in the Arctic wilderness and that he is in fact just outside a therapy clinic. In order to further highlight this and look more into the concepts of OCD and focus on the help and support message of the animation, I needed to create a second character. I therefore created a female character, both for diversity and because it felt more suited to the role that was needed. This character could be a therapist or spouse to the main character or maybe just a friend. I hope to leave this ambiguous for the audience, as I hope that they make their own assumptions as to who this character is. The message here is not who she is but wht she represents, in this case, help, support, friendliness and guidance. She is there to act as a shoulder for the protagonist and act as a way of helping him. This uncertainty to who she is helps to show the point that we all have people in different forms who can help us in times of despair.

The character was modeled and textured with advanced skeleton being used for the rigging process.
