(Press Space Or Tap There's More) 1. Overview: Reference from the DTA on the left, my versions on the right 2. My redraw of the character with a winterized outfit cause' its wintertime and my addition of Stella (more below) 3. Spizzy Smoothie truck rough drawing 4. Melon Man's Desk and Stella's cage rough sketch (I ran out of time after going on a rant with the story) So I ended up spending more time on the story than the actual art.... XD. Sorry, it's so last minute! Good luck to everyone else, all the entries look amazing :0 Character name: I'm not 100% sure what the name would be, I haven't found one that feels right for this character yet. I do have a few ideas but I'm not sure if I like any of them: Theo, Tip, and Ty (they all start with T). Age: 17 Hobbies/Interests: - Loves animals - Aspiring Journalist/Writer - Traveling Job: Works at the Spizzy Smoothie Truck located in the Silver Ridge Zoo Traits: - Not shy, but tends to keep to himself and his friend circle - Hard worker (studies a lot for school) - Morning person What's that thing on his shoulder? His pet sugar glider Stella sorry she's a bit hard to see with the scratch image quality. You can also see a sketch of her on the thumbnail. A big block of text describing the character: Melon Man (name still being determined) dreams of being a journalist for a big-time news organization and traveling the world for his job. He's been working at the Spizzy Smoothie truck for 3 years after school and during the summer. The Smoothie Food Truck is known for its specialty watermelon smoothie, a recipe perfected by Melon Man himself. The truck mainly operates inside the Silver Ridge Zoo in the dining section of the zoo. One summer the smoothie truck owner partnered with the zoo to add a small sugar glider exhibit outside the food truck. It featured a nice sized cage and a small meet and greet area for guests. Melon Man was partially in charge of the meet and greet along with a zoo intern. Melon Man ended up adopting Stella (she was up for adoption). He takes her to the Zoo during his shift at the smoothie truck to meet visitors and takes her home to her habitat after work. Melon Man is in charge of his High School's newspaper, it's one of his favorite parts about school. What would I do with this character? I would probably draw Stella and Melon Dude as much as possible, to be honest. Possibly finding some sort of plot so I could make a little comic series? I kinda just went off on building a story there, sorry if that's a lot lol
