Everyday for thirty days I designed an Original Character (OC.) These characters were simple in concept, yet colorful and heavily stylized. Everyday I mixed an animal and an inanimate object of my choosing.
Body of Work
These characters were designed so that they could easily be turned into collectable merchandise such as stickers, figurines, and toys.
