A butt-shaped body with short arms and legs plus a pair of always staring eyes. That’s the description of butty. What is the inspirations behind making butty”butty” ? I want to share a story.
Butty’s character was inspired by a friend who is a London-born Chinese. He speaks cantonese with British accent. He is the only friend in my circle that has British accent. He swears a lot in a friendly way. I found his way to say “arse” instead of “ass” fascinating. It is how the idea of butty was started. The character was designed base on my friends original - “cool, always swearing, has a big heart and sometime doesn’t care shit” personality.
The drawing above is the first draft of butty was inspired by a friend. It has thick eyebrows, small round eyes and like to smoke sometime. Originally, I wanted to create characters base on different body parts with my other friends personality. I will talk about it more in the next blog posting!
Cheers & Thanks for reading
