Not Willy

Ok folks, to get things started here I'm going to post all of the character work I have done, even though we did not use any of it, it's nice to see where we have come from. Here they are in no particular order.
I call this one "thin Willy". The group had chosen this thin Willy for out protagonist and we where hammering out the final ideas until Francisco mention that animating an animal tends to de easer as people are less critical of there movements. Back to the drawing bored!
Shaggy Willy reminds me of Shaggy from Scooby-doo, he is also quite boring to look at.
Willy the otter was quite cute, and I liked him. Unfortunately he was to cartoony for some peoples taste.
This guy looks like he belongs in a porno, not a story about astronomers.
I admit, I am smittened by this little guy, I thought he would be great as Willy. Sadly the style is too reminiscent to "Snap" a previous AnPro project. Also we wanted to move away from humans.Mod Willy is too trendy and not old enough.
I'm not all that good at anthro art, so Badger Willy number one came out looking quite cute and young , not older and wise like I wanted him to be.Ian and Justin liken this guy to Moby, what do you think?
I really like this guy, I think he is gust the right mix of cute, nerdy, old, and wise, that Willy needed. He sort of looks like William Peterson, probably because I was watching CSI while I was drawing.This guy is way too young and not at all geeky enough to be Willy!
Like I said, I suck at anthro, but this coyote astronomer is sort of cool.This Willy is dull as dishwater.For some reason I thought that Willy could be portrayed by a deranged mountain lion, I was wrongYes, another badger, I like badgers so sue me. Anyway I like this guy He could of been a good Willy I thought. Note the Louie the Lighting bug in the corner.

And finally we have Willy as portrayed by Fry from "Futurama"

That's all for now folks!
