Our D&AD entry piece, I worked with Aaron as a team for this project, Character design for Disney. I came up with the original concept and drawings and Aaron did all the 3d work and the layout for the board.


Pod is a mandragora that lives underneath the crops in Max's farm. Coming up with this concept I went through all the disney films and think about what hasn't been done before, so I came to this in the end. Mandragora and Mandrakes appeared in other films such as Harry Potter but they did not have a lead role, this will be the first time that a Mandragora gets a lead role in disney.


Pod is curious and cheeky and hes very nosey, I went through lots of different drawings to finalise his appearance making sure it looks right. Also I have included supporting characters such as Mr Onion and Mr Carrot.


Storyboard shows his appearance in context.
