Bishop As You've Never Seen Him Before
I hadn't envisioned Bishop for his new co-starring role as anything other than the E.T.-looking alien he is, which is no particular race, but it suddenly struck me that instead of coming up with yet another shade of pale I could delve into some more interesting hues (after I gave him proper ears).
He could be black, he could be India-Indian, he could be from Trinidad, he could be from anywhere. It doesn't matter. I just like that he's not white and that his race has absolutely nothing to do with his character or role.
There needs to be more of that in the media: roles that transcend race, no matter how unostentatious they may be. In fact, the more unostentatious, the better.

Really digging the fact that you aren't satisfied and are expanding the film to be something you will be proud of, just make sure you finish it my man. The idea is solid and your acting/animation chops are golden. Really can't wait to see this baby all rendered up and finished!
