Clink - the introbot for Brandissimo! inc.

Clink, the pet bot of Brandissimo! Inc., was created to intruduce the company to its viewers and clients. Thinking out of the box, gets klink in to a lot of trouble, but hey! who could ever be upset with a cute lill bot like it.

This post contains design and development of the character and alternate storyboards and animatics that were pitched.


Some of the doodles for this creation.(Inspired by R2D2?!)

All robots manufactured at the garage go through a color test.

Boingboing

Ok I admit, I was addicted to boingboing.net. It's like a whiff of caffeine as the afternoon seeps in. (want to know more?) Other than the weird content, the blood orange logo is totally eye catching . Boingboing.net is such a well named blog that you can hear the sound the movement as your eyes roll over it.

The boxy pixelated girl in boots got me wondering... what she would look like, animated?!

Poses (rough animation)

Just some thing I was doodling this evening. The Clip is taken from 'American Pie'
