🎨 A character design project created for my school, developing a mascot that could represent the identity and personality of the institution in a fun and recognizable way.

✨ The project focused on character design, visual identity and creating a versatile mascot suitable for different applications and communication materials.

Carrying the books, camera and pencil on its shell gives the turtle a whole story in one glance. Did you test a one-colour version for small uses like a stamp or favicon? I'm curious how much of the shell detail survives there.

Reposting this because the "character bible" trick is the real lesson: lock the character's design, costume, and props in fixed language before generating anything, and identity holds across the whole one-take sequence instead of drifting shot to shot.

The fiancée's real paper route behind it is what makes the red rubber band and the stowaway cat feel earned, not decorative.

Curious, has anyone else tried the "lock it in writing first" approach for continuity, or found a different fix that works better?
