Original Characters: Oskar, Kit and Gwendoline (Anthropomorphism)
Introducing my original character designs, 'Oskar', 'Kit' and 'Gwendoline'. Each are based on a species of bird: Toucan, Parrot and Hoopoe. The quirky anthropomorphised characters have come together to solve seemingly unexplainable disturbances happening to the wildlife on Earth. Each have unique personalities and perspectives but they share one goal - figure it out before it's too late.
This is Oskar, a Botanist with a knack for puzzle solving. He is the leader of the crew, guiding the team through seemingly never ending chaos. Species: Toucan

This is Gwendoline, a widow with a nonchalant attitude, who has learnt to relax and embrace each day as it comes. Species: Parrot
This is Kit, the youngest of the group. He has a talent for art and a brazen heart, ready to take life head on, and challenge the status quo. Species: Hoopoe.
This is Oskar, caught red handed, indulging in a guilty pleasure. Although the group doesn't approve, everyone has their vices.
These characters were inspired by the vibrant patterns detailed in a duvet set. This sparked the idea for 'Oskar' the anthropomorphised toucan, which was followed by both 'Gwendoline' and 'Kit'.
