Monsters - Illustration

Rafael Renzon Payumo

Monsters - Character Design

Project Type: Illustration Character Design
Monsters is my playful take on reimagining fear. Inspired by the idea of flipping scary monsters into lovable characters, I designed each creature with vibrant colors and soft shapes, capturing a whimsical, friendly vibe similar to Monsters University. The result is a collection that turns fright into fun.
I set out to break the cliché of terrifying monsters by reimagining them into characters that radiate warmth, charm, and individuality. Through playful shapes, bold colors, and expressive details, I built a lighthearted visual world that feels inviting, perfect for children’s media, animated stories, or brands that want to spark a sense of joy and friendliness.
