Shaping Our State

Shaping Our State is funded by the Blackburn Institute at the University of Alabama and the Daniel Foundation of Alabama through the Daniel Community Scholars Program, with plans to expand its reach in the coming years to engage, empower and encourage the next generation of Black women leaders across the United States.
I designed minority representing female characters for the series for the non profit & set the characters up for animation on a tight budget & deadline

Characters Set Up

Designed & set up character characters in a couple of poses needed & layered their parts (upper torso, lower torso, neck, head, hair, fore arm, lower arm, hands, thighs, calves, feet). I added blinks & mouth shapes
