Quasimodo

Theme:	Disney The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Accessories:	Paintbrush Figurine
Creator:	Berrybrick

No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
I dare to dream she might even care for me
And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold dark tower seems so bright
I swear it must be heaven's light

―Quasimodo, "Heaven's Light"

Quasimodo is the main character of Disney's version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, loosely adapted from the character of the same name in Victor Hugo's book Notre Dame de Paris.

Designer's notes

I was originally going to use Gollum's head, but it didn't really work. I thought adding a molded nose would fix it, but I was worried that would look more deformed in the way that The Simpsons minifigures do and less in the way I wanted him to. What he has now is a regular head with the Dog Show Judge's hair and a little bit of Frenzy's head/upper-torso providing the illusion for (a very small part) of the hunch. I might tweak the face in the future, since I'm not sure I'm totally satisfied, but all I would probably do is add a few more lines and maybe play with the proportions (more; his eyes are already spread apart more than usual).
Also, short legs! Those were originally going to be used but they also didn't look right, probably because they inhibited him from actually hunching.

Like the cloth part probably would if it weren't modified. Oops.

Really sorry that the statue fig looks so bad; I've never done one before, it was a last minute addition, and it's just at a weird angle. I thought it would be a good idea to give some context of what that paintbrush was for, to sort of deconstruct the figure's stupid-looking face and show the character has a little more going on.
