I.

Situation

The creators of 'The Sins We Share' were developing an animated drama series exploring themes of ambition, family loyalty, and the moral compromises people make for success. They needed character designs that could carry emotional weight in a semi-realistic animation style.

II.

Task

Design key characters with distinct visual personalities that communicate their roles and relationships at a glance, while maintaining enough depth for audiences to project complex emotions onto them throughout the series.

III.

Action

01

Character Psychology Mapping

Before any visual work, we developed detailed character profiles exploring each figure's motivations, background, and relationship to others. Maya Carter's confident posture and sharp glasses reflect her analytical nature; Donald Wilson's imposing presence and gold accents speak to his earned power.

Curator's Note

Visual storytelling requires characters whose design choices feel inevitable once you know their stories.

02

Semi-Realistic Style Development

We chose a style that bridges realistic proportions with subtle stylization—enough realism for emotional nuance, enough stylization to maintain the flexibility animation requires. The urban backgrounds ground the characters in a recognizable world.

03

Scene Composition

Beyond individual portraits, we developed key scene compositions showing characters in relationship. The office confrontation scene establishes visual hierarchies and tension through careful staging and lighting.

IV.

Result

The character designs have been adopted as the official visual direction for the series development. The concepts are being used for pitch materials and early production planning, with positive reception from potential production partners.
