Synopsis

The story is about a psoriasis fighter named Toby. He wants nothing more than to make friends, but he is too afraid of how others may think of him. In the story, Toby embarks on the journey to embrace his body and gains the confidence to make friends with others. To his surprise, people are more than willing to accept him than he thought.

Process

As the sole designer working on this project, it took about 5 months from idea, visual development to the outcome. I took special care on the story and the script narration to be easily understood by people of young age as well as the environment design, by incorporating child-like elements to bring out a charming delight. The animations are mainly inspired by childhood cartoon expressions that can be easily executed without much knowledge with rigging.
