The story / Ugolek

The character’s story

His ash-grey head has a silvery bloom and grows a short dark bud. Patient, meticulous, taciturn. By default he feels even warmth and a mild wariness toward the door: part of his attention is always outside, at the gap and the threshold.

Look
Front

Ugolek supports the paper with one paw and brings a short magnifier close to the broken Fu-brick tea with the other. Tiny golden specks appear among the dark folded leaves. He is in no hurry: even a little piece of tea has a pattern of its own.

Fuzhuan — dark tea pressed into a brick.
Look
Front

Ugolek holds one shallow case of Fuzhuan tea in both paws. Its pale frame stands out against his dark geometric cape, while a broad stance and one continuous rear panel keep the silhouette compact.

Original form

Character starts with form.

A rounded cube-shaped head carries one short, blunt dark bud. A straight little mouth and a broad ash-grey body with a silvery bloom give Ugolek his quiet weight.
