I wanted to develop an character that pushed the limit of failure. To showcase a personality that is so strong and determined, it can only be shown in such dire straits. This figure is in a position of crouched withdrawal, but has weight on his back forefoot and his arm cocked in attack position. The circle’s form is based off of oil in water. The location of them is based off of the physical feeling the figure is experiencing. It could be a feeling after getting punched in the face or the tiredness of his muscles.
