"bidroho" and "adda"

Another of my characters..developed during the visual scripting workshop. This man Bidrohi sen is our old bong who travels through the many by-lanes of Kolkata to find his own in those regular joints of adda..My script dealt with dying art of public conglomorations and Bidrohi the last lone ranger to hold it back...It was a challenge dealing witha topic like this and creating Bidrohi's space with the couple of other characters

hisi hisi and hozojuju....

Apart from coming up with the wierd names i had great fun designing this character who is extremely close to my heart..Developed from an early story which i wrote...The Mongolian wizard Hisi-Hisi is an extremely helpful wizard with an enchanting smile..He's a very humble tribute to my childhood days of Ray and goopy-bagha..

irfan bhai and his garage

Another of my character design characters...irfan bhai a young mechanic with his garage and armed witha dream to make it big in theautomobile sector..It was interesting to get a peek into his world and fun moulding him from his real self to an animated character...

haripada in black in white

haripada and his musings

These are a few of sketches which i did for the character design workshop...The character is based on a poem by Rabindranath Tagore. Was a bit of challenge trying to bring back the charm of an old black and white Bong..with all his quintessential dhotis and glasses..an ode to the old from the new breed...
