My idea is to have the twins as merchandise in an electronics shop (like HMV for example) and have them on the shelf. They essentially are a new brand of speaker docks just released under Les Twins new branding line, so of course this means they are made of plastic.
As you may be able to tell, I have decided to now merge my first idea of the boy character with my second robot character idea in order to make a better transcription. The transcription is of Les Twins dancing, only here my characters are a product of Les Twins. Im making both Larry & Laurent. Les Twins docks will be playing their own iconic music which they have made specific choreo's for.
Above are all the most obvious influences of the character design. You have a picture of Les Twins being the main focus behind character design, some funky ipod docks and a steve jobs action figure. The ipod docks are what I am utilising to make my characters into, the environment the panda dock is in is also where I plan to stage my animation. The steve jobs action figure is an example of the finished product, which is essentially a middleground between the real thing and the object. Another good example of what I'm strive for with my characters is Buzz Lightyear, but a Larry & Laurent version.
Here is a secondary Influence Map detailing all the other things I'm gathering reasearch and ideas from. I found that the characters in The Boondocks have a good likeness to Les Twins, I have been looking at them to help me get my ideas across in my sketches. The other hip-hop style pictures also help in the same way.
