NOCTURNALS

A CHARACTER DESIGN SERIES INSPIRED BY THE PERSONALITIES AND BEHAVIOURS OF NOCTURNAL ANIMALS

( project overview )

( deliverables )

Nocturnals is a character design project where I reimagined nocturnal animals as human characters. Rather than creating literal human-animal hybrids, this project explores how behavioural traits can be translated into believable human identities. Each character was developed from a nocturnal animal, with its instincts, personality and physical characteristics influencing decisions about age, profession, clothing, posture and overall appearance.
