("Calvin" of 'Calvin & Hobbes'. Bill Watterson. 1985-1995)
REFERENCE:{"Calvin & Hobbes"}
For the design of the main character of my final project, I was researching a lot of examples of kids, comic books and graphic novels. Like I told before, my most important referent was Calvin, he little boy made by Bill Watterson, because he has a big fantasy and his best friend is a Tiger.
{"Little Nemo in Slumberland"}
{"Little Nemo in Slumberland"}
After, in my first months here, I discovered Little Nemo, other important referent because is a kid who's always dreaming, like my main character.
{Francesc Capdevila "Max" is a spanish illustrator and artist from Barcelona (1957). Is a speciallist in illustration, design and story. He made famous stories like "La biblioteca de Turpín" or the character "Bardín". Is very famous because his stories are different, very original and he has differents styles. Sometimes he makes a childhood work, and others an adult comicbooks.}
But I had other referents, like the characters of my spanish favourite illustrator, MAX (Joan Capdevila): “Bardín, el surrealista” y “La biblioteca de Turpín”. I like his simple style, very personal and original.
Other referent was the comic-book “Las aventuras de Marco Antonio y Cleopatra”, because is a typical cartoon design very funny and simple, but always works, making very funny adventures.
MY OWN WORK. SKETCHES:
So, I was working in a lot of examples and sketches, looking for the final character. Was a very long way, because I was looking for the best character as possible.
