"The fate of humanity depends on a spider"
Character Design
On this feature animation project, I served as the Lead Character Designer, responsible for creating the entire cast of characters. From the titular Inspector Sun to the smallest background insects, the goal was to develop a cohesive and vibrant world inspired by the classic "whodunit" mystery genre.
My work involved setting the stylistic direction, defining the silhouettes, and ensuring that each character’s personality was instantly recognizable through their design. Working on a world populated entirely by insects allowed for unique creative exploration in anatomy, costume design, and expressive facial features.
design and coloring of main characters
A noirish fiction set in a seaplane from Shanghai to San Francisco in 1934, the plot follows anthropomorphic spider Inspector Sun in a mission against his foe, the Red Locust, with the mystery vis-à-vis the death of Dr. Spindelthorp as a backdrop.
Shapes and color combination
As you have already noticed, I love rough sketches for understanding the idea. I work on small details and volume at the color stage
