LINEAGE:
Both of my characters are referenced from Doraemon and Dorami. They may look like the actual model but I did changes to the face and the bells. For Dorami, I changed the ribbon head to a pair of pointy ears. For Doraemon the bells and the model I changed it to look not so similar to the actual one.
Those images are which I referenced the model from and starting drawing my own model. I changed the same of Doraemon to Doramin and Dorami to Dora. Even its just a slight change but it is still different from the original.
Comparison of the two models:
Doramin is the male robot cat while Dora is the female robot cat. They are both brother and sister.
Dora is created 5 years after Doramin.
Dora is quick witted and is brighter than Doramin.
The gadgets that Dora use are newer and better compared to Doramin's gadgets.
Reflection:
I had some childhood experience of drawing Doraemon so I chose Doraemon as my Character Design Model. However, drawing Dorami was my first time. So the expected output of Dorami isn't as nice compared to Doraemon. I find this exercise fun as I find drawing fun!
