This new character is inspired by my interest in sea life. The character’s details and traits are influenced by aquatic forms and materials found in warm ocean currents. Rich colors, flexible tentacles, and light floating movements make her feel very different from how life evolved above the sea.

I wanted to display her clumsy nature through her socks, hat, and dress. In addition, her ginger hair shows shes a bit of an “oddball” and unique.

Character line-up for Spirit Catchers. Although these characters have similar uniforms, I wanted to make them all feel unique, like they each put their own personality on it. In addition, I tried to make each of their silhouettes unique and easily recognizable.
