A capybara can be a murderer? We don't know, there's a chance of his sad friend, a blue anteater, knows something? We will see, I'm Mr. Cupcake, the best investigator...the best Tasmanian devil investigator of this city and I'll discover the truth.

This was a amazing and fun revival of a old character, Cupcake, a bitter investigator. I developed two more characters to get a set, Capybara Man  and Tonho. Everything around the old Noir cliches.

Here Capybara Man getting some coffee. The style of each character was made to a high exploration value in the universe, with this in mind I explored different types of animatable style, some characters, like Capybara Man don't have side views as a consequence.

Mr. Cupcake, here is a reboot of the original cupcake made for a short animation challenge. Now he's cuter. A alcoholic and problematic investigator, fired from police because of his black and white view of the world.

Tonho is a anteater, he is blues from soul and color, but likes to party to forget your miserable life.

Some exploration of the design and life drawing from a anteater.

A exploration of the universe, many characters are possible, as a preliminary sketch this picks a more serious approach in the drawing style, normally I do this and after that simplification rounds to get the cartoony look. Also, this looks like a poster, no?

Original Cupcake animation with your initial design. It's in Brazilian portuguese.
