028. Eeyore (Intro)

Added 2023-09-29 23:45:13 +0000 UTC

Eeyore is a pessimistic and gloomy old stuffed donkey belonging to Christopher Robin in Disney's Winnie The Pooh. He goes on adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood along with his friends, but he spends most of his time searching for his tail, which he loses constantly.

I based my model on the original non-smiling Eeyore because there's something a little off about seeing him smile. I wanted to incorporate his sad personality along with him looking for his tail because these are his two main traits, so I chose to model the handstand pose of him looking for his tail like in the bottom right corner, I think this is the perfect combination of both without making him look so sad it makes you feel sad.

The models are both already finished so I'll have the clean version out in about half an hour, with the ornamental version coming tomorrow. Eeyore's character trivia is below. As always thanks for subscribing!

Eeyore spells his name "eoR".
He is stuffed with sawdust and lives alone, underneath a small, teepee-style house made of sticks.
While Eeyore is gray in animation and puppetry, he is blue in merchandise.
In merchandise by the Walt Disney Company and cover art, Eeyore always has an uncharacteristic smile.
He is somewhat less caustic and sarcastic in the Disney version than in A.A. Milne's original stories.
In Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore, it is revealed that Eeyore's favorite color is red.
Eeyore's birthday was December 25, 1921, when Christopher Robin got him as a Christmas present.
Apart from his cynical personality, Eeyore's tail is perhaps his most defining trait. Despite being pinned down with a nail, Eeyore's tail frequently detaches and winds up getting lost. Christopher Robin is typically called upon to reattach it.
Despite his depressive nature, Eeyore is capable of great compassion and empathy, which is shown when he grows a plant that Rabbit (a master gardener) was unable to grow, just by showing the plant a little love.
Eeyore's tail wasn't always fixed to him by a pushpin, although Disney has chosen this as part of his permanent image.
Age-wise, Eeyore may be the oldest member of the group.
Eeyore's name is based on the British Cockney dialect version of the phrase "hee-haw".
Eeyore is the current reigning champion at Poohsticks.
In Christopher Robin, Eeyore has a silly habit of calling Evelyn Robin "Evelyn My-Wife" as he believes it is her full name.
Eeyore constantly losing his tail and needing it pinned to him is a reference to the party game "Pin The Tail On The Donkey".
He has his own area in the Hundred Acre Woods known for its dismal atmosphere: "Eeyore's Gloomy Place", where he is typically seen sulking under a rain cloud or eating thistles.
