After having done a class activity of creating a weird creature all together by passing the paper around:

This exercise was quite helpful a way to relax the mind and help for the long process of creating a multitude of different characters.

We had already started with different shapes and styles for the mailman character so we mostly shared what everyone had done that day and agreed which one suited the plot best.

What we focused on was the plot, we created a quick story board and discussed on a deeper story to give the character. We came up with an elderly mailman who missed his grand daughter very much and had a gift to deliver to her (a way to see her) [the idea came from thinking about ourselves in our daily lives, time passes so quickly that some, maybe most, forget about their families specially the elderly. This is like a sweet reminder to not forget your grand parents] on his way there he came across a portal and curiously went to take a closer look, but that unfortunately led to him being sucked into different universes( three), while trying to find a way back his top priority was protecting the package and reaching his granddaughter. The story turned to have a more touching and sweet side to it, so a pastel colour scheme was thought of to convey this sweetness.

  The final design in the bottom seemed the most suitable for the story.
