Journal #2

What is your relationship to the main character?

What experience of yours inspired you to create him/her/it?


I have no real relationship to the annoying fat kid in my animation, but I guess I hate him [that's the intent, though, so it's okay]. I guess this character was inspired by how generally annoying and terrible I find most [about 99% of] children. For the last seven summers I have worked as a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor at a lake in my hometown, so I have worked around a fair amount of kids in my time. I have found that regardless of how nice, mean, or apathetic towards them you may be, kids will always be obnoxious. Especially kids around middle school aged, which is the age group the kid in my animation falls into. They are the worst, most depraved creatures on God's green earth. So I suppose that's what inspired the little shit who stars in my animation.
