In one of the Monday day experiments we were tasked to create an imaginary animal out of cardboard. I created a mix between a 'Narwharl' a dinosaur and an aquatic creature. This inspired me to create an animation of this character.

On the other hand, the other man looks quite angry and disappointed, his arms crossed- a very negative gesture. His feet are pointing outwards as he's not ready to talk.  This drawing at the bus stop is my least ...
