IN THE LIVING MEMORY OF ALL THINGS DEAD.
BUBS: CHARACTER DESIGN
​
WHO IS BUB?
Bubs is a novel character I’ve developed over the years. The character is my way of channeling a side of me that is kooky and reflects the way I see myself and the world outside. It's a paradox of narcissism and reflection of the world it exists in.
​
A bub simply translates into a friend.
It is the viewer and the protagonist
of its story.
​
SHAPE LANGUAGE:
The character is entirely made using circles. The circle: soft, squishy, harmless, approachable, changeable.
Circles are natural and organic shape, round out edges and add curves to evoke a warm and welcoming feeling.
ROUND AND ROUND AND
A BUB COMES AROUND!
BIRTH OF THE BUB
It all started with a pencil, paper,
and lots of curiosity!
The story of Bubs consciously started around 5 years back but I feel the world of cartoons has always fascinated me since I was a child who doodled random cartoons on every page of the school textbooks.
