Post a scanned handmade sketch of your character in your blog and answers a few questions in this post (you don’t need to answer all the questions, just pick a few of them). You can also propose new questions and write a short description of your character (~ 50 words)
In addition, post the turnaround of your character in Illustrator that you did during the class.
Finally, write a short story about your character and imagine a kinetic element that will help you to tell this story. Draw a handmade sketch of one scene of the story and identify the kinetic element(s). Think of ways you can recreate that movement by using mechanisms and explain how it will work.

Description
Eggyroom is a mushroom with a head that looks like a fried egg. It loves basking in the sun—maybe it hopes the sunshine will bring out the fried egg aroma and make everyone crave it just a little more~
Story
Eggyroom has a secret no one knows.
Everyone thinks it was born looking like a fried egg.
The forest was always damp in the early morning, with sunlight sneaking through the leaves, gently landing on eggyroom’s round, sunny-side-up “hat.”
It stretched, gave its little head a shake, and let out a tiny yawn—
another perfect day for sunbathing!
Slowly and sleepily, eggyroom waddled over to its favorite sunny spot in the clearing. It plopped down on a warm rock and tilted its head toward the sky, letting the light soak into its “egg white” hat.
When the sun began to dip and the shadows stretched longer, eggyroom glanced around—left, right, no mushrooms in sight. Quiet as a breeze, it tiptoed into a patch of ferns and gently peeled off its “egg white.”
If another mushroom happened to see it at that moment, they'd realize—
Eggyroom is actually a white mushroom with a yellow head! Turns out, its head was just sunburnt!
But even if the world thought it was just a cute breakfast-looking mushroom, eggyroom didn’t mind. It had its secret. And sometimes, that was enough.
Kinetic Element
Attach a pull string to the egg yolk. Install gears inside so that when the string is pulled, the egg white part can quickly spin or rotate.
