Wandering Musician Character Concept
Back in the Summer of 2023, I took a character design class instructed by Nate Wragg. In it, were were tasked with developing a character of our choosing, and then taking that character through the animation production pipeline, resulting in production-ready concept ready for the screen.
At the time, I was listening to a lot of 60s and 70s American folk music, so the character concept I landed on was a wandering musician. Carefree and easy-going, this character carried all of his possessions on his back as he traveled from town to town performing for money.
