Year of the Ox | New Year Buddies | NYBuddies

Project Brief | 

To create an artsy, fun, cute, colorful, cartoony brand  that is inspired by the Chinese zodiac myth as well as to potentially rival hello kitty and  promote the lunar/Chinese new year festival.

My Role |

Preliminary ideas for the NYBuddies characters.

Character Design

This design is a representation of the traditional little red envelopes (hรณngbฤo) given out during Chinese New Year.

Animated Group Concept

Here is a fleshed out concept design of the animated scene. The idea is to have a continuous loop with all of the characters having fun together.

Project Conclusion |

 

The main goal of the NYBuddies project was to:
- introduce the characters to the public
- See what potential this project can yield as a competitive brand
- Gauge the public reaction

The NYBuddies in the beginning was a project I wanted to try and work on my animation skills. I thought it would be a fun thing to create.

As I continued this project the idea to create a name and brand for these characters started to grow.  I feel that I can take these characters and update/play with them further. I can create a new fun band of characters to have people laugh, enjoy and buy products to support this brand.

The scope of this project has come to an end. I will continue and add updates as time goes on. I will build the brand and create products and see where NYBuddies will take me and the world...
