This fast-paced, character-driven project was all about getting the word out on the importance of safely escaping a car after an accident. To keep things fresh and fun, we brought in some squishy, cheeky organ characters. They squabble over the best way to handle the emergency - until they finally decide to team up, rouse the host, and bail out of the car.
DEVELOPMENT
The character development process began with a series of initial sketches, where I experimented with different designs to establish a style that the client felt aligned with their vision. Each character was crafted with distinct personalities in mind, ensuring they stood out individually while maintaining cohesion as part of the larger project.
CHARACTER EXPRESSIONS
An essential aspect of this development was balancing uniqueness with simplicity. The client was keen to keep the designs light-hearted, approachable, and visually appealing to the target audience. This meant focusing on minimalistic features, and expressions that conveyed each character's personality clearly without overwhelming the viewer.
STYLEFRAMES
Throughout the process, I worked closely with the client, refining the designs until we achieved the perfect blend of charm and simplicity, ensuring the characters would resonate with viewers of all ages.
