Semester Project: Phagophobia Character Concept Art

The character for my MMP1/ 2nd semester project at my university is, as well as the story, inspired by me and my life. The character is based on me and embodies the state I was in physically and mentally when I experienced the topic introduced in the animation project. With the first inital sketches I tried to get as far as possible away, from making the character look like me, but after reflecting and debriefing I realized that I should’t be afraid to put myself out there since I want to make a statement with this project, so the character should also embody me. I tried to capture the childlike curiosity with giving the character overalls with fun patches and interesting designs.
