It's the thought that counts
2023 – School Project, Package Design & 3D Modeling
Overview
Sometimes, we try our hardest to do things right. Even with good intentions, we can’t always do things correctly or please everyone we come across. That is what this art toy chooses to explore, that sometimes it is not the gift that matters, but rather it’s the thought that counts.
Process
This project was an exploration into the overall motif of “it’s the thought that counts”, relying more on a humorous touch to show off those who are benevolently trying but do not quite reach 100 percent in the end. It follows our character, Benny, an art toy, who, as a sentient flame, tries to woo you over with a gift of a flower, unaware of the fate of the flower. This project also served to act as my first introduction to 3D design. The assignment for the class was a freeform assignment, in which the student could explore a new topic and learn it themselves. I chose 3D, and after some attempts, came to this version of Benny for a finalized 3D render of an art toy.
