New Original Character...Maybe

I find her pretty cute but I'm not so sure~
My inspiration comes from the Japanese comic book (Manga) "Shougo Chara!" There's a character named Rima who has a cold exterior but really sweet & kind & loves comedy~ I wanted to show the
same personality to this character but I guess it didn't work out?
I'm not sure :)

OC (Original Character)-Kim Minji The Songstress

This is Kim Minji. She's a middle school (7th grader) student who dreams of becoming a singer.
Dark mysterious creatures start appearing in her city invading people's hearts and fills it with depression. No one realizes what is going on except Minji. A shooting star, which turns out to be a pink orb, comes to Minji and tells her that these creatures are the inner darkness of humans that can live in people's hearts forever unless someone lightens their hearts. The pink orb transforms into a staff which Minji can sing through. That's when Minji thought eventhough no one would know it's her, she can still sing and bring happiness to people's heart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent years drawing and creating characters but Minji is very special to me.
I drew her last month but did not complete her until September 1st because I kept going back and forth on her trying to decide what colors suit her, if she should be a super hero or an ordinary girl and such.
As you may have noticed, her name is not English. It's Korean. Ever since I started working on her, the name has been stuck in my head and I just think it suits her.
Her weapon is a staff that has a top of a microphone where when she sings her voice turns the darkness into light and makes people happy.

"Just Milk"


This is a project I've done when I was a student in college. The teacher has given us a choice of either packaging milk or spices for a gourmet store that is recyclable. I chose packaging milk as a set and individuals.

Packaging milk didn't come all so easy for me for one reason: it was targeted for teenage boys.
I don't have brothers so I didn't know what do boys look at when they go shopping. So I had to research about boys interest and what is visually appealing to them.
Usually, milks are packaged in plastic or glass bottles. But I chose cans instead to be unique and different.

I got a B+ for it.
