This bottle Re-design was a 3 week project in which we were given then assignment of creating character designs for products. Personally, I wanted to re-create an actual product on the market. After much though I decided to choose a brand that I felt not only matched my personal drawing style, but was a fun and playful product to make. For this reason I chose Mountain Dew bottles.
Conceptually the character is a representation of what we turn into when drinking too much Mountain Dew. The Mountain Dew addict, wanting so drastically to return to his normal skin type, adornes a human mask to fit back in to society.

Conception & Process
I went through quite a drastic series of character illustrations to come to my final product. These are a few of my process shots
These are beginning character concepts. Each of the 10 characters have 2 different illustrations each.
A mid stage illustration of my character. I decided to shorten both the arm and body length for both size and style benefits.
