They chose number 4, 16 and 21.
Here are my character designs for a company mascot. The CEO wanted a character that could represent what the company deals with: converting waste to energy. I've thought about poop, but I decided to go microscopic instead. These are caricatures of a certain kind of methanogen (i.e. an anaerobic bacteria that eats waste and produces methane as a by product).
They ended up choosing 3 microbes.

This is my more recent model sheet of the 3 microbes.

My boss was really planning on using the mascot in an animated ad and eventually in a collaborative animated short about renewable energy. I suggested to make a maquette to serve as guide for drawing the different angles of the characters.
This is my first attempt to create a maquette using polymer clay. It was quite fun despite the blisters and cuts (from handling wires). I never liked working with gloves.

This was a rough draft of the armature wiring for a maquette.
After 5 hours, I was able to mangle them wires into the approximate shape.
I used white Sculpey Premo! clay. I read about the different types in the internet. Reviews about this clay are accurate; very easy to knead and firm enough for my character design.
4 and 16 still in foils. I used a plastic sculpting kit from Toys R Us and toothpicks for the finer details. The metal ruler was handy for chopping off slices from the clay block. 21 was done after 3 hours.
Finished trio.
I tried using alcohol and cotton buds to erase my finger prints before baking but I could only find a solution of 70% so it wasn't smoothing out so well. Mother of an office mate helped me bake them. The color stayed just as white as the unbaked clay. I have not tried dropping them on the floor, yet.
