Inside-Out Character Design

​

This design project was based off of a person, an animal, and an inanimate object. I synthesized the internal and physical characteristics of my roommate, a gazelle, and a whisk to create my main character, Ipsa.

 

After solidifying her design, Ipsa's personality began to take shape. A confident and self-assured food critic, Ipsa became a little uptight and rigid after several rounds of edits. I gave her a bright and easy-going foil in the form of food vendor Emilio, and even Ipsa can't resist the charm (and deliciousness) of Emilio's Spa-go-tti!
