I began with these concept renderings created in Illustrator to get an idea of the overall character, and to see which combination of features we wanted to see in the final design. Ultimately, we combined the two concepts and moved into the sculpting process

Sanrio sent us a base model of Hello Kitty to create our unique figure. The first step was to sculpt the tail, fur and prime for painting

Rey Sambo airbrushes the main orange color, and I draw fur details using prismacolor watercolor pencils. Lana Belasic begins working on the accessories.

We created a diecut template to spray the black spots all over the body.
All that's left is to complete the accessories and put it all together.
