Character and World Design Project

In Character and World Design our class built a world and each group built a race in that world. The race I created is the Wugoys which is a group of monkey-like creatures that can glide around, but are unable to fly. The Wugoy live in the sky (or the ground since this world’s design is based on the holo world theory), and they do not leave since they cannot fly back there.

First iterations to determine how I wanted the Wugoy race to look (bipedal v quadrupedal, where the wings are, proportions, etc.)

After creating this history for the species I created a storyboard for them. This storyboard takes place in the past where Lindao's mother is still leading. In the storyboards the Wugoys attacked by another race who have far superior technology. Lindao's mother tells the other Wugoys to flee to safety. (Below is a small sample of the boards created telling the story)
