OCTOCATS
_FIRST ATTEMPTS
" We are a tech company, but don't run away just yet! We need animators... "
In 2013 I was fortunate to be hired as an animator at GitHub. I ended wearing many different hats throughout my tenure.
Some of the initial projects revolved around, obviously; - octocats and how to draw them, as we decided early on that we were going to animate this character and we needed to become very familiar with it's proportions and design.

_OCTOCAT SKELETON
One such project was to concept and design an octocat skeleton.
Eager to impress and make good on GitHub's investment, I did my very best to reference feline anatomy and cephalopods to come up with this chimera of sorts.
One thing led to another, and in the end I was taking these concepts to a finish clay model to be molded, cast and displayed as a pseudo fossil at the San Francisco office.
