LUSH - The Snow Fairy
Lush's first Christmas animation centered around the much-loved Christmas Snow Fairy brand and scent. We follow young Aki after a sweet scent sparks a journey through the snow-laden forests surrounding the town, eventually finding the Snow Fairy’s magical cottage.
I worked as art director and storyboard artist on this lovely project produced by Feral Child Animation.
Besides overseeing that all animation remained on model and remained true to the art direction, I had a wonderful time working on the Layouts, Background paintings, Character Design, as well as some animation where it was helpful to the team.
CHARACTER DESIGN
From the initial conversations with Lush we were immediately drawn to their concept of this untraditional Christmas character, The Snow Fairy, being a spirit of nature and an embodiment of kindness, confidence, and bravery.
While designing the character, I was inspired by seA AND FOREST CREATURES, PARTICULARLY JELLYFISH, PEACOCKS, cotton grass, and dandelions.
