 Character Development:

One character that doesn't develop is Older as he is the catalyst for Younger's character development. At the beginning we see Younger, as this scared, nervous and timid kid. But once he sees how his big brother stands up to the bullies, he sees him as a role model, wanting to be more like Older and so becomes more confident and faces the bullies with his brother.

On the other hand, the bullies start off as troublemakers and are mean towards Younger. Once Older and Younger stands up to them they become cowards and alot like how Younger was before he gained confidence.


Final Character Design:

Younger:



Older:

Super Older:


Bully:

This is because the protagonists in the animation are within the target age group, this can make the characters more relatable and seen more as an ideal self for the audience. It will be targeted to an international audience as it will most likely be distributed on the internet (Such as sites like YouTube) which available to the majority of the world.
