These are characters and designs that I have worked on and each has its own world. I like to explore style, based on the unique attributes of the story. Across it all, it represents my own voice as a designer.

Set in a fictional blend of South East and Eastern Asian countryside town, Boh with his little brother Tato, compete in a life changing robot fighting tournament. Using material from his family's bamboo farm and his engineering skills inherited from his father, Boh makes a robot that is flexible and strong enough to rival even the most fierce competitors from the prestigious robot fighting club.
Tāne is one of the sons of the village chief on the large island of Te Waipounamu, south of Moana’s island, Motunui.
When Moana arrives, some of her people back home are fighting illness. An herb deep within the island has the cure. Moana’s father pairs her with Tāne to trek into the wilderness to retrieve it. Moana would rather go alone, but Tāne knows the forest and how to protect themselves.
The island doesn’t have any mammal predator but is inhabited with various species of birds which include the vicious, emu-like, Giant Moa birds and loony intoxicated pheasant birds that fall from the trees randomly, high from berries. Tāne is a realist who is kind, charming, a bit reserve, headstrong, resourceful, loyal, and sarcastic humored. He wants to prove himself to his brothers who are much more powerful than he really is.
Here is the full description I was given: ( I highlighted what stood out to me)
Dillon The lazy, but brave, hero.
He is tall and thin, with blond hair and dirty, ragged cowboy clothes. His clothes and hat all should look a mite too big for him, since they are hand-me-downs from his out-of-luck father. He has a natural ability to be a gunslinger, but he never practices. Few people know that he could be the best there ever was, if he had any motivation in him. Even with his lack of gumption, Dillon is very likable, as he has a heart of gold, cares for the town and all the people in it, and treats his best friend, his horse, like a brother. If he could ever muster some motivation, he could win Polly's heart and become mayor of the town he loves.
Film Synopsis,
It's 1815, and a small Old West town called Smithville has a secret: According to an age-old legend, hundreds of years ago thieves raided the Mayan treasures of Mexico and barely escaped with their lives. The thieves created a labyrinth of tunnels in the isolated spot where Smithville now stands. What they did not realize is that they had been cursed, and soon they all perished.
The thieves left a hidden map leading to the location of the riches. Now, years later, Smithville is almost a ghost town and is on the verge of disappearing.The ancient legend has long been forgotten or ignored, except by Dillon, son of the local panhandler. Dillon believes the ancient stories and has decided to find the treasure in order to save the little town he loves.
Dillon is lazy, but he has a pure heart and an incredible natural gift for gun-slinging, though he doesn't use his gift much, since it tires him out. The only thing that really gets Dillon's heart racing is Polly, the beautiful, red-haired daughter of the town's beautician.
Unfortunately, Polly is betrothed to the town's sheriff, Brent Baxley, a dashing English gentleman whose heart is black and whose intentions are cruel.Polly has no knowledge of this side of Brent. In the end it becomes a race between Dillon and Brent to find the lost Mayan treasure. They compete for the heart of Polly and to save the town as they explore the maze of tunnels studded with booby traps.
