It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

It's about to redesign our mascot (Basti). He was done two years ago by ourselves. But now he looks very plastic to us.
What we are missing:
- He is not cute enough that somebody would say: "ooooh" - should have more a BABY-Look
- He looks like a big blob of gray tones we are missing shades, curves, reflections etc

Eventhough what we like:
- He kinda looks like its model
- That he is gray
- The pose meaning that he sits - eventhough we need a second pose
- That he does not have the body of an animal four-legged he has a "Baby Body"
- The fact that we have an opened filein matter to do any required changes

The old AI file as well as photos from the original plush in many pose you can finde under www.i-mondi.com/download/Basti.zip

It's about redesigning our mascot, this means to stylize the stuffed animal in the zip-file. Initially, since our old AI file was only revised, we have taken it from the zip file. If you still have the old AI file, please do not take our old file as a template. Please direct the focus to the stuffed animal and interpret it by yourself. The result should be a complete character, not just a head or a upper body. Each possible pose is welcome.

Hi
Here is my proposal for Basti. I started from your file and re-designed with the following points:
- head size related to body size: babies have a big head related to their body, so I increased head size and decreased body size
-right now, Basti has no neck, which makes him look kind of "fatty". Giving him a neck improves this point
- ears: donkeys have long ears, so I increased ears lenght
-eyes: babies have large eyes so I increased eye's size, and also increased the distance between the eyes because they are too close to each other on the existing plush
Please let me know how you feel with my proposal
Best Regards
Arago24

Very cute but it is just a JPG and we need a Vector-file
