This design evolved into a more cartoony looking Nonny which is the designI decided to use for the final project. I also created a version of Nonny who appears more detailed and anime like. I went with the second rendition because I thought it emulated the more kid friendly TV show style I wanted to emulate. Creating Bea&#8217;s character was easy because I had already established Nonnys visual style which I was able to match Bea&#8217;s too. Bea is much smaller than Nonny which I think adds a touch of comedic value and cuteness to their duo. I was really inspired by characters such as Snoopy and Woodstock and Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/whelchel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2026\/04\/Untitled_Artwork-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-586\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonny Character Variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/whelchel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2026\/04\/Untitled_Artwork-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonny Rough Sketch Reference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/whelchel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2026\/04\/Untitled_Artwork-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-588\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonny and Bea Final Reference Sheet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/whelchel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2026\/04\/Untitled_Artwork-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When developing the Story I storyboarded out the first 6 shots which helped give me a feel for where I wanted to take the story.
