02 - Introducing Maria Vidoza, my Agent of Change
As promised, here’s my Agent of Change:
Maria Vidoza, a biotechnology engineer whose biggest passion is science. She is fierce, determined, smart, easygoing, cheerfull and a natural friendly person. She loves her family, even though she lives on her own in Lisbon. Besides her family, she also loves her job and her three little dragons. Yes, you read right, her three little dragons. She is currently working with the government on a confidential project that could change humanity for the next centuries. Don’t worry, it’s not that confidential - I know all about it and I’ll introduce it to you along with some cool sketches.
The thing is - she is actually 17. She was recruted by the government because her neighbours pressed charges against her for being super “loud, noisy and flashing lights in the middle of night” - turns out she was actually starting her little project that later turned to be one of the most important things she has done in her life. The police reports about that incident travelled faster than speedlight thanks to 5G supported technology used by the authorities and a few days later, boom, the government nocks on her door with a gold proposal - work on her project with ilimited funds and in return the outcome should belong to the government.
This sounds like all fun and games but actually I've been having dificulties with the design. At first I did something different, more adult like if you want to put it that way, but I wasn't feeling it. I wasn't enjoying it. So I decided to listen to my gut and change it! I wanted something more stylized that could transmit a sense of calm and funny character and, of course, more color! Anyway, here's my previous design that I ended up changing:
I didn't like the style, the overall feeling so I decided to not push it further if I wasn't feeling the excitement I always feel when I design a new character.
See you soon with more creative processes!
