Character Design

I was asked to create a hippo which is furry and sharp, hence I created this guy. His name is Pat, though he is not sharp in any places except for his single tooth, which juts out from the corner of his mouth. I also chose the colour yellow for Pat as this colour actually appeals to children, and I wanted to make his character friendly and has a love for fast food, such as fries or chicken drumsticks. Instead of a short tail which all hippos have, I gave Pat a really long tail, so as to acheive a really strange look. His hobbies are singing and dancing, and he lives near beaches, where he will not disturb others when he is blasting his speakers at full volume. Occasionally, he might even play with children.
