this little guy

So I was playing around today with the idea of a futuristic touring C0mmed!a dell'Arte group (which is great because it could involve pieces of political commentary on problems of the future as seen by people who live the future (ie ours) as the present, and would be a great set-up of expectations for the plot. One of the members who plays the stock character of the clown has never had the courage to go past his comfort zone and is forced one day, when he wakes up to find his troupe gone and their 'circus' home abandoned mysteriously, to traverse the galaxy to look for them. (does he ever find them, I won't tell) I thought that the idea of this 'clown' stock character would be great because he could be fun and his journey could be heartwarming as he encounters different, weird creatures from other planets, etc while growing as a person. Also, the fact that what we see him to be (that is a stock, flat character) in the beginning would be filled out by a more dimensional, humanistic character at the end who we care about (by taking the journey with him). Anyways, I was playing around with some (yes, cheap vomit..free from Pitfire LOL) clay for this little guy.
