Masterclass

Here are some bits from my live character design demo segment at Nemo Academy's Masterclass, last Tuesday. The character was created from scratch and became a mixture of a goat-ish dragon-dogbird, with a strong reference to Pablo Piccasso's 'She-Goat' sculpture and André Franquin's weird machinery designs.
