Description Meet Toku,
The Clockmakers Apprentice.

A new character for a new animation project!

He is my personal character animation challenge. I want to practice fine detail animation. And what better way to do so than have a four armed kid put together a pocket watch behind the shopkeeper's back.

His name came from a wonderful moment between and I around 5 in the morning!
I was pondering what to name him, and she came up with Tock! After a good bit of laugh, we somehow got on memories of Japanese class, and then with all the grace of 2 + 2, we decided on Toku, it just stuck!

At least thats the quick of things
LOTS of drawings and storyboards to come soon.

This was a fun sketch that I had to do a color study on. After that, I just couldn't put it down!
I am always up for thoughts when it comes to new characters, so dont be shy!

(I cant wait to get my hands on a Cintiq again!)

This is great, are you working in the steampunk genre now? I'm just starting to dabble in it, I've always loved the concept, colors, designs, and all that, but I'm a failure at metal and have always been to intimidated by all the metal and machinery to draw in the genre.

Well, Its a good "Magical Modern" place for fantastic storytelling.
Steampunk has become our Greece in a way.
