MILO” IS AN ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE I CREATED AND ILLUSTRATED, CENTERED AROUND A LONELY FOREST MONSTER WHO LONGS FOR FRIENDSHIP BUT IS FEARED FOR BEING DIFFERENT. THROUGH THIS CHARACTER-DRIVEN STORY, I EXPLORE THEMES OF OTHERNESS, BELONGING, AND THE DEEP HUMAN NEED FOR CONNECTION.

 

THE PROJECT COMBINES GENTLE VISUAL STORYTELLING WITH STRONG CHARACTER DESIGN. MILO AND THE CREATURES AROUND HIM WERE CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO REFLECT THEIR PERSONALITIES THROUGH FORM, COLOR, AND EXPRESSION. I PAID SPECIAL ATTENTION TO BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EMOTION TO CREATE A SILENT YET EXPRESSIVE WORLD.

 

I DEVELOPED STORYBOARDS, CHARACTER SHEETS, COLOR EXPLORATIONS, AND ENVIRONMENT CONCEPTS FOR THIS PROJECT. THE VISUAL STYLE IS SOFT, TEXTURED, AND POETIC — A REFLECTION OF MILO’S INNER WORLD.

 

“MILO” IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL PROJECT ROOTED IN MY OWN SENSE OF DISPLACEMENT AND THE UNIVERSAL DESIRE TO BE SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD. IT COMBINES MY PASSION FOR EMOTIONAL STORYTELLING, CHARACTER DESIGN, AND ATMOSPHERIC WORLDBUILDING.
