Barron Bon Box is the protagonist in my (always on the backburner) children's book. The original sketch on the left was drawn in 2018 with the idea that the final character was going to be created in 3D.
My first thought was a Minecraft/Lego looking design. But after building and rigging the character in 2019, it felt uninspiring.
So I'm going back to the virtual drawing board and recreate the character more along the lines of what I've been experimenting with in paper toys. That should have a more organic, flawed look. I like the limitations that folded paper will bring to the design.
Other characters will be pseudo claymation designs (i.e. Gumby) and fabric textures (Kirby's Epic Yarn).
