Robot Owl, mascot for museum

client: Deutsches Museum Nürnberg
art direction: Dörte Dosse, Unimak 
character design, illustration, animation: Kerstin Welther 

I was asked to design a robot owl as a mascot for Deutsches Museum Nürnberg. It is a German museum that focuses a lot on technology. The mascot is used for their children's programs.
They needed the owl in different settings for different occasions. In addition some animations were also required.  ​​​​​​​

Here are some of the first sketches: 
The museum needed different poses of the owl mascot for different occasions. For example for the summer program. 
All final drawings are vector artworks so they can be easily scaled for different kinds of use.
For the summer program there were also some social media posts and story highlights needed. 
I had the pleasure of animating them and also making simple sound designs for the short clips.
