CARTON LOVER is a character–IP exploration that blends playful hyper-stylization with contemporary toy-culture aesthetics. The project focuses on building a cohesive cast of expressive, collectible characters—each defined by bold shapes, saturated color palettes, and dynamic proportions that echo the energy of modern art toys and blind-box figurines.

The design approach emphasizes emotional readability and visual impact: exaggerated silhouettes, tactile surfaces, and vibrant material textures allow each character to feel instantly iconic. Working entirely in 3D, the project explores modeling, shading, and rendering techniques that highlight attitude and personality through form. From concept sketches to final renders, CARTON LOVER aims to create a universe of characters that feel both humorous and memorable—made for animation, merchandising, and collectible art-toy development.
