El Topo's Inspiration on Design



Alexandro Jodorowsky is one of my favourite film makers, and his film 'El Topo' is one of my favourite films. El Topo contains a near infinate amount of topics that it covers, but it tackles one topic better than any other portrayal. Disability is shown in the film, realistically with no signs of trying to dumb it down for the audience. This is done in a powerfull way that eventually shows many disabled people being brutally killed. This controversial power inspired my character design. This is why I chose to give my character no arms.
