I feel as though this design visually could be refined a bit further, but I think her story and connection to the other rat means that she has potential to be expanded on further.




Good and Evil Zodiac - Good Scientist

This character was quite difficult. I had trouble reconciling the nature of a "mousy" person - usually timid and soft spoken with the nature of a person under the rat sign. I also had difficulty making the person appear mouse like without putting actual animal features on them. Ultimately, swapping the "job" for the rat around to the job for the human is where this concept emerged.



Good and Evil Zodiac - Snake Oil Salesman, Gavin O'Riley.

Good and Evil Zodiac - Evil Rat

Initially, I explored the concept of a scientist rat. Later I decided that the role of scientist better suited the human character and that having the rat be a snake oil salesman of sorts would be a fun idea to explore. Since this was fairly late in the ideation state, most of the silhouettes are of the rat in a lab coat. I wanted to include them as I still like most of them.





Good and Evil Zodiac - Ideation

Here are some of my influences for this assignment.
