This assignment gave me a bit of trouble, I had to create a mascot for a local business in my neighborhood. But I didn't have no real connection with any businesses near me, so thankfully my professor gave me an idea to create one for my home.
I had three concepts that matches the vibe of my home: mama bear, diy kitty, and granny hedgehog. I loved how unique each concept was and they all represent a core part of my home but in the end I decided to bring mama bear to life.
In this stage, I kept her main outfit the same but designed the mascot to fit a human body. I watched videos on how the furry community makes their fursonas (a subculture about animal characters with human traits).
I learned things like how to add proper ventilation, use different fabrics like mink for certain parts, and other helpful techniques.
I was having difficulties choosing colors so I decided to choose warm tones that seems warm and fuzzy. I had lots of fun designing this and my siblings think that this represents our home perfectly.
If I were to refine this more, I would add like seasonal props like baking tools, arts and crafts, random stickers and much more.
Honestly, if she was a stuffed animal I would buy her right away. She is the perfect definition of home.
