Chi and Saki were part of my uni project, in which I had to create a set of Facebook stickers.
Character Design
My main inspirations were the Japanese, Korean or other Asian characters found in different sticker packs. Being extremely interested in the “kawaii” trend, I wanted my characters to give the vibe of a small, chubby, and cute combination of different animals.
I wanted my sticker pack to include 2 main characters: the jelly plant monster and its partner. I was looking to keep many similarities between these two, but create at the same time some unique characteristics that could differentiate them.
Chi (“earth” in Japanese)
-brown
-shy
-introvert

Saki (“blossom” in Japanese)
