Character Concept

For the school Assignment in Maya, I wanted to create a sort of Fairy tale character. As result I came up with my own little story:

Creation of the seasons

At the beginning of time Mother Nature and Father Time had four children. Two sons and two daughters. The eldest was Winter, a sturdy son who believed in perseverance, he believed that how harder the obstacle was, the stronger you would get. The second child was Autumn, a daughter with a gentle and responsible spirit who loved her siblings very much. The third child was also a daughter and named Spring, Spring was full of life and energy and loved nothing more than to paint colors on the white canvas her brother winter laid over the world. Winter did mind but always forgave her because she was very lovable. The youngest was a son named Summer. Unlike his brother Summer believed in paradise on earth, a place where humans could reap the benefits and beauties of life without having to work for it. Because Winter and Summer clashed so much in personality is was impossible for them to work together.

Facing a world that needed managing and four children with ambitions, Mother Nature and Father Time decided to divide the year into four parts. Each child would have its own period of time called a season. 

Because Winter and Summer got caught up in competition every time they had to work side to side, a new arrangement was made. Winter got the first season because he was the oldest, Spring got the second season because she loved to paint on the white canvas of snow so much, Summer got the third season because Spring did most of the work for him leaving little for him to do as he liked it and Autumn got the last season because she did not mind letting her siblings go first and wanted to prepare the world for Winter’s cold ideals.  The reason why most animals begin to hibernate during this time is because Autumn sings them to sleep.


Meet the character I'm going to create in 3D:

Summer

Although technically Summer is the youngest child, Spring is still considered younger because of her child-like personality and appearance.

Summer has a good heart but has the habit of being arrogant and lazy from time to time. He avoids work and spends most of his time admiring his creations or rather his finishing touches on Spring’s work.

Appearance

He has a slender posture and a refined appearance of a male in his early twenties or late teens . He looks well after himself and dresses fashionably en extravagant. His clothing show many elements of summer, such as the color yellow that resembles the sun, flower petal shapes and green of fresh grass.
