CHARACTER COLOUR AND IDEA DEVELOPEMENT:

• I loved the child like take on the minotaur of Michael Ayrton we looked at in class and wanted to go for something similar. A kinder and innocent look while keeping the big and imposing size: gentle giant, huge baby.
• He is meant to be a farm hand, but is rather lazy and enjoys lounging around.

About the character:

he is meant to be a mutated creature purely bred to help around farms like to a shepherd dog. But more like the trolls in the Witcher 3 and how they are used by humans using their strength and lack of intelligence. I wanted to blend that with the minotaur we saw in class questioning its existence, but a lazier take on it. My muses for this character were my dogs one of which matches the laziness of this minotaur. I wanted a different take on a creature, something kinder.
