That Hurt
A free-spirited traveler from another world, and their friend beyond the fourth wall, recount an adventure in which they were captured.
MOOBOARD
I have always loved Deadpool for his strange sense of humor and the way he breaks the fourth wall. I wanted to bring that same playful and self-aware feeling into my own character
However, I did not want this project to have a realistic style. Instead, I wanted to create a surreal world where reality could bend, characters could interact by breaking the “fourth wall,” and the story could unfold in unexpected ways.
Character Inspiration
Character Design
Storyboard 1
My goal is to create characters who are free-spirited, strange, and slightly unpredictable. They seem highly aware that they are trapped within a narrative—a situation they deeply dislike—and desperately want to escape the surveillance and control imposed upon them.
Storyboard 2
However, I eventually felt that the original idea was a little too predictable. I wanted my character to be completely free—unbothered by the fact that someone was watching. So, I reimagined the character outside the “fourth wall.” Instead of being a distant observer, they became part of the story, almost like a strange friend who had somehow wandered into it. The fourth wall itself also became part of the story through subtitles, taking on a playful personality and occasionally interacting with the character.
