Penelope Sparks

Penelope's design started out as a way to advertise my commissions! I owned a small store called the Sun and Moon. As my freelancing evolved, so did her design!

​

I designed her to be a fun, creative looking character, with eyecatching colours and a flair for the dramatics. After I took a break, her use became less of a freelance mascot, and more of her own character. That's when I started developing her and her universe. 

​

To the left is a sketch of a short animation I drew to showcase a little snippet of how Penelope would draw her weapon, as well as her general attitude in battle.

​

Looking back, I'd like to clean it up a lot more, and add more flavour, such as a bit more of 'circus acrobat' style movement. The hammer's design has also changed, including a curved pick side, so the movement I'd be able to rig and design would be even more fluid, due to the curved shape.
