Fleshing out of character
















also over the weekend i tried to come up with a stylised version of what my monkey would look like, but i found it difficult to come up with an image, so what i did i created a whole backstory to my character so i could flesh him out more.

so here it is, fleshing out my character


aztek idol monkey.

personality: mischevious,caustious, curious, bad temperd, untrusting, loner, (which is odd beacouse spider monkeys are social creatures) his tribe abandoned him because he wanted to explore the world beyond the canopy- because of this he is shunned.

name: perello

place in film: comic relief, with edge

apperance: lean, long arms, more then average length tail, cheeky face,normal sized eyes and short fur.

story: they spend 95% in the canopy, it is forbidden to go beyond a certain point down the trees.
perello wants to explore-the village eldersforbid him to leave-he argues-they say that there are dangers down there which youdo not know about,and if you come back who knows what monsters you could lead back with you.(only spider monkeys can navigate there way through to the sky city/monkey village)so they make him choose between living among them an doing what he wants, he chooses his own way and is banished forever from the clan.


after i had given perello a life it was so much easier for me to visualise ho whe will look, it helps because his life style effects the way he looks, and how he reacts to things.
