Hard Work: A Junior Creature by Noah Esparza (2021)

My story "Hard Work" is about a shy but caring kid who lives in NYC whose father has already made a name for his clothing brand. Being inspired by his father's work he started to design and when he wanted to show his father his work he ignored him. But with the help of his friend he was able to start making his ideas come to life. As he continued to work on his brand his popularity grew overnight and he had a brand name for himself. He was making a profit off his clothing and eventually saved enough up for his first store that did better than his father's. With the feeling of rejection being replayed for him, he only used it to strive and pass his father doing what he loves.

In Illustrator my creature first had a chameleon's body, reptiles are very shy animals and tend to run away when approached. I then used a dolphin tail because dolphins are very caring creatures that come off as scary animals at first but are super friendly. I then used chimpanzee legs because chimpanzees are very creative creatures and can do almost anything we humans are capable of doing. I then added a crab arm to show loyalty one interesting thing I found out about crabs was that they are very loyal to their neighbors and even sometimes help their neighbors fight off other animals that are bothering them. Finally, I added my eagle head. This final part of my creature's body showed the hard work my character had. I decided to create a background showing buildings and purple sunset. My main building was a cafe building that I used my linear perspective skills on. Overall I can't really say that I would change anything about this. I am very happy with the work I created.
