Yummy Yumi!
September 12th, 2005
I have been working on character turnarounds while waiting to get my network notes on my storyboard. I had a hard time getting Yumi to where I was really happy with her. So I pulled my fellow creator aside, Adam Henry (of “Krunch and The Kid”) and asked him to lend me a fresh eye (or two). He suggested lengthening the neck some, and we sat and drew on post-it notes playing with design ideas. One of the best things about working with many creative people is sharing ideas and being open to suggestions. I cut up the original drawings and threw some post-it notes on top and had some fun implementing the ideas we came up with. I am really happy with the result! Thanks Adam!

Thanks for the nice comments. It’s easy making something better that’s 99% great and only needs a little nudge to be 100% great! You can call me your little nudge!

Hey Aliki, I love this character and I shrink her to pocket size! I can’t listen to your voice cauz I don’t have the speakers hooked up to my desktop at work, you know my computer skills. Your work looks fantastic!
