Today, I’m sharing the story behind designing Pauline, a character who holds a special place in my heart. I’m absolutely in love with her design because it’s truly unique and close to me. The idea initially started as a cartoon character with a touch of Art Deco inspiration... and this is what I ended up with:

On the left is my very first drawing of her—I think I did it when I was twelve. On the right is the 'upgraded' version, where I was experimenting with different styles.

After that, I put my all into bringing that design into a 3D format, because at the time, I was convinced that 3D was my ultimate goal in life.

But that wasn’t the final design. Her most recent version is this one, more mature and a true reflection of my style.
