Octonauts, Pokemon, T.M.N.T and Adventure Time character design analysis

Octonauts
The facial expessions of this character are very simple and happy looking. It is important it has this simplistic style because it is aimed at a young Cbeebies audience. The character is a primary colour which is also suitable for this audience. It is comprised of a few simple shapes and clearly represents a turtle

Pokemon
The style is very typical of pokemon. It incorporated lots of highlights and has a 3d look. This character is instantly regognisable becasue of the style. The eyes are typical of this kind of aniamtion.
The colour blue reflects its powers. It has water based powers.

TMNT
These characters are very dymanicaly shaped with muscular bodies and straight edges. This gives them an aggresive style which is suited to what they do, they are fighters. They have human like features and are more the shape of humans than turtles. Which makes they're personalities more relatable to the target audience

Adventure Time
The turtle princess in adventure time is quite a passive character and it is reflected in the illustration. Relatively small arms and legs with a big body and blonde hair. She is very simply drawn and uses a few colours without any self shading. This workd for the target audience because they are used to the simple colouring of adventure time.
