This is a video covering my creative process designing the "Mayor/Great Inventor" character for my Autodale Animated series.
Working on "Immortal Machine" was very difficult and stressful but creating the "Mayor" really was a highlight. I spent a lot of time writing his backstory and designing his monstrous appearance. He's one of my favourite characters in the Autodale series. Making this creative process video was a lot of fun and reminded me how much I enjoyed the early stages of the "Immortal Machine" project. Never has a making of video felt so much like therapy! XD
