Dee the Clown ; Design Evolution

Medium: Clip Studio Paint, Procreate
Created in: April 2020 – Sept 2022

This little character started off as the nameless player character for a 2D platformer demo made for a Computer Science CEGEP Program class; Later on, I decided to redesign him when I started having ideas for an action-adventure RPG set in a clown world, in which he would be the protagonist. These are incidentally my first, self-taught attempts at animating 2D assets for a video game, of which I’m pretty proud of despite their roughness. When redesigning him, I wanted to give him a cuter, more polished and vibrant look that still kept his signature feature – the frilly collar/mouth.
