Below are the turnarounds of my characters, I created these by manually turning a turn table and taking a photo frame by frame to get a full 360 degrees turn.

I like the veins on my envy demon as they highlight the character, especially when he is stood in the dark. When painting over the silicone it created a sort of marbled effect on the character so I only used one coat of paint as I felt this effect really suited the character and added some extra detail to his skin. Over time the joints in this character came loose at the arms which restricted the demons movements a lot which was very hard to work with. Because the only way to deal with this would be to fully remake the character I decided to change the story slightly to make the demon seem more mysterious and creepy by having him stalking Sam from the shadows, personally I feel this worked a lot better than my original idea to have the demon act like his friend at first then get creepier as the story goes along because the story was too short to properly show the shift in personality.

I am happy with how Sam turned out looks wise but wish I had been able to find a better adhesive for securing the joints as one of the legs came lose while animating which made it a lot harder to do walk cycles. One thing I would change about Sams appearance would bee to add more colour to his clothes (even though it doesn't suit his personality) because in the darker scenes he is sometimes harder to see than I would like.
