This narrative is about a small alien who meets a spaceman and decides to travel to Earth. These sketches are the beginning of a longer story I would like to tell through animation.
This character was designed for an animated short about a young sea turtle who ventures out alone into the ocean and discovers what he has missed in his sheltered life.
