BLU the Aquanaut
This body of work based around my character, Blu the Aquanaut, is one of the first gestations of a '‘Small Seekers’' character. The world you see when viewing his environment lies entirely within the ocean, mainly the deep sea. He lives in an underwater habitat which also houses his laboratory. These are a few of the sketches, concepts and designs for the project. Blu is a decendent of “Pirate Sullivan” another “Small Seeker” character who is a pirate with a love for adventure and all things nautical.
