The Challenge

To demonstrate speed, consistency, and cultural depth, I challenged myself to design 12 unique characters in 12 days. The goal was to reinterpret traditional Mexican icons (The Christmas Punch, The Poinsettia, Baby Jesus) into a modern, commercial "Art Toy" style suitable for licensing and merchandise.

The Solution

I utilized soft geometry, tactile rendering (clay, vinyl textures), and a cohesive color palette to unify disparate elements like a devil and a cup of punch. This project showcases my ability to build a "world" from scratch and execute high-quality character design under tight deadlines.
