022. Chip (Intro)
Added 2023-07-28 01:45:00 +0000 UTCThe son of Mrs. Potts, Chip is an adorable and charming teacup who befriends Belle and ends up helping her and her father escape the village trap.
For the model I'm going to recreate his iconic bubble blowing pose like in the bottom left. So far I've finished sculpting his body in Fusion and now I just need to add in his face and all of his details in Zbrush and he'll be good to go. I don't really expect this one to take all that long so no progress post this time, but the clean version should be out on the page throughout tomorrow, shortly followed by the ornamental version. Character trivia is below, as always thanks for subscribing!
- In his teacup form, he has a chip on his head. As a human, this manifests as a chipped tooth.
- According to part 2 of "Lyrical Love", Chip is Mrs. Potts's twelfth child.
- Although Chip and his siblings are implied to be of British descent (due to their mother's accent and "Potts" being a British name), he speaks with an American accent in the animated film.
- As a human, Chip is a seven-year-old boy who works with Mrs. Potts in the castle kitchens.
- Because Chip was alive when the Enchantress cursed the Beast's Castle, it is likely that he did not age during that time period.
- Mickey Mouse mentions Chip as his “old buddy” in The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse episode “Keep on Rollin'“.
See you in the next post,
