Starship Animal Doctors - Lion

The Lion was one of my favourite characters to design for the Starship Children's Hospital Pre Check Up interactive wall 😛🦁!

In this experience, the lion opens its mouth as wide as the user's, teaching the kids at the hospital to stick their tongues out, open wide and say "AAAAAHHHHH".

It was one of my favourite experiences to work to, and the character was also a favourite to animate. I think that adding little details such as a tongue poking out, or having the eyelids close as the mouth opens really adds character to the whole animation.
