Industry Work
Procreate, Illustrator
Project:
Come up with a conceptual redesign of the current Canadian Characters from PiQ Potential. Do multiple poses of each character.
Process:
The Project Manager brought this idea to me, and asked me to draw and illustrate new conceptual redesigns for the PiQ Canadian Characters. They were thinking of scrapping the old ones and redoing them to look like their Wellness Project Characters so the art across all the planners was more cohesive.
I sketched out different poses for each character in Procreate, then traced them out in Illustrator. I started with the Goose, and that character went through a couple different style changes under the direction of the Project Manager and Senior Graphic Designer. Once we nailed down what the Goose should look like, I moved on to the Beaver and Moose, applying the same style to each. I didn’t get as far with the Moose’s poses when tracing them out, at that point the project was cancelled due to priorities shifting. I really enjoyed working on these guys though, and wanted to feature them here.
Product
The Canadian Characters redesign is an unfinished project concept that got put on the back burner. The restyling was going smoothly until the idea was cut. I’m happy with the look of the characters and how far I got with them, they achieve a warm and dynamic feeling while keeping the style of The Wellness Project.
