The Love Letter Postwoman
2025

This is a concept that I developed as part of “Captivating and dynamic character creation”, a Domestika course by Jackie Droujko.

I imagined this story where you can find this delivery service for love letters.

Credits: The wall, gate, mailbox and background house’s linearts are imported assets from Clip Studio paint that I rendered.

For this course, I started with a character exploration lineup to explore a variety of characters and uniforms. I really wanted each character to have a distinct personality. I also incorporated more or less subtle heart shapes in each of the designs.

I then picked one and developed her personality more through poses exploration.

The final step was to make a final illustration. I put this character in a slice of life/Shoujo setting which I think works well with the prompt.

The story of this character is that she is loving her job of delivering the letters everyday, and seeing the look brighten in people’s eyes when they get a letter. Until one day, one of the letters is addressed to her without indication of who sent it. A bit in disbelief at first, she is then trying to find who wrote the letter and will realise along the way that the love she delivers everyday might also be for her.

Jeunes Pousses
2024-2025

Jeunes pousses is a story about Iris and Tom, two twins going on an adventure to find the last tree said to grow its own fruits, in a near future where all food is artificially produced. The story is about how the siblings are driven by their curiosity and child spirit and how it helps them to face the challenges they will meet along the way to reach their goal; as well as not taking nature for granted.

I was highly inspired by Studio Ghibli obviously with the graphic style but with the message too. I love a good “coming of age summer” trope and thought that it was a perfect matching sub-plot to the main one which is about the search of the tree.

These are the remastered character designs from my graduation film.

I wanted to highlight the different personalities of the twins and their relationship to each other.
