KloroPhil Krill

KloroPhil Krill, my film’s “buddy” protagonist character, is likewise a cartoon bricolage, a funky assemblage of animal, human, and bug-like components. Jointed arms and anthropomorphic legs (clad in bell-bottom trousers and platform shoes) emanate from Krill’s carapace-like body, a turtle shell with a ridge of Triceratops spikes bisecting its spine. Krill’s eyes appear as two eggs on a plate atop his goofy and buck-toothed dinosaur face, which protrudes via his drainpipe neck from a “gun-bunker” opening slit in the front of his carapace.
