Another month a new project direction. My ol' alter ego 'Al' seems to be calling to me from the creative beyond. Al is the guy that you see in the ball on the front page of my website. He is my oldest, dearest character and, if i may, embodies a big part of my own personality.
Some background on 'AL EoN' is that he is an A L I E N that really doesn't care if anyone knows it or not. His interaction with people is fairly sparce as he tends to be sarcastic and frustrates easily as he "thinks" that he knows more about "stuff" than they do. Of course his understanding of the world around him is mostly literal. He believes that he is a simple thinker but in fact over complicates almost everything. He has a companion that acts as his conscience, a chrome sphere that goes by the name of Baub.
AL's purpose, his motivation is that he must (due to circumstances I will discuss later) live in our world but hold on to who he is according to his world. The refreshing aspect of AL is that he doesn't fall into situations as blindly as one would expect. I have been sketching some ideas and am working on some storyboards. More to come later.
