2D | Ego II

As mentioned in my previous post, I’ll be doing my illustrations and narrative in a tongue-in-cheek, light hearted method, nothing serious, it’s all about fun! The brief mentioned that we have to put ourselves in a different scenarios which will produce all kinds of outcomes and reactions. After much brainstorming, I realise that I kept imagining myself as a type of food – well to be honest, I always wanted to be a burrito. Don’t you think they are so cute???? I mean yes they are yummy, but they are ador-a-ble!

But anyhow, I gotta calm myself down and here are some of the sketches and concept that I came up with.

This is my first round of conceptualisation, as you can see, there’s alot of random ideas. Let me just list down the few that I thought has potential to expand.

Seeing The World
Me + Soda = Balloon
I’m just Me. After drinking a carbonated soda, I started to bubble up and become a balloon! In that way, I’m able to float into the endless blue sky and see the world~ Well, I was inspired by BFG Movie, where they drank the Frobscottle and started farting and flying up.

Seeing The World V.2
Me (Bubbles) + Kids = Seeing the World
I’m a bottle of bubble. And I’m stuck in the rack with the rest of the bottles. But one day, a kid bought me YAY, and released me in the playground – I can finally see the world! Until, I was poked by all the kids. So what I’m left, is just residue. 

A Sprinkle’s Dream
Me + Ice Cream = Snow & Skiing
I’m among the thousand and one rainbow sprinkles, yet I’ve a dream. Which is to, get out of the container and start skiing on the icy cold vanilla ice cream! I’m basically thinking myself as a miniature human, and I would definitely be a yellow sprinkle.

Z Monster
Me + Insomnia = Panda
As always, a normal design student would never have enough sleep and will always be chasing the Z Monster. Me + Insomnia, not a good combo. But anyways, Pandas are awesome.

To be A French Fry
Me (Potato) + Exercise = Fry
Well, I’m technically a coach potato, and always procrastinate in going to the gym, yet I always complain that I’m gaining weight. SO, this is my DREAM, to lose weight and be a FRY. Do you get it, from a potato – to a fry? Shedding skin, literally.


So, after much brainstorming, I’ve finally shortlisted 4 concepts which will be in my final work!

The Egg’s Dream
Me (Egg) + Expectation = Not What I thought Of
Well, this happens to be all the time. Thats why I decided to do this. It’s plainly laid out, expectation and reality. The reason of me choosing an egg is because my friends say my face resembles an egg -_- well I hope it’s a cute egg. Anyways, the story goes like – this egg dreams and aspire to be a rooster, but, sadly, it didn’t turn out as he/she wanted to. Stay tune for the ending in my final piece :p 

The Yellow Sprinkle
Me (Sprinkle) + Ice Cream = The World of Skiing
I’ve never been to a Winter country before, so let this be my dream – again! I chose to be a Yellow Sprinkle, because it’s my favourite colour and yellow is also a happy colour! It’s just me, sitting among the thousand and one sprinkles in the bottle, yet I have a dream! Which is to get out of the bottle and lay on the icy cold vanilla ice cream, together with my ski gears and beanie, just casually, sprinkling down the ice cream.

Potato’s Next Top Fry
Me (Potato) + Gym = Hot French Fry
If you caught it, I got the name for Potato’s Next Top Fry from America’s Next Top Model. The couch potato, getting all stressed up about the beauty standards in the society. So, it’s just my imagination again BECAUSE, I don’t think I will get the motivation to work out that much. How this illustration is gonna work is, from a potato – after lots of exercising – becomes a fry. Is that apeeling yet? 

Taco’s Fillings
Me (Taco) + Clumsiness = Exposed Fillings (Feelings)
LETS’ TACO ‘BOUT IT. If you know me well enough, I’m an extremely clumsy person and superrrrr accident prone. So, this “clumsiness” of my inspired me to do this series which is called – Taco’s Fillings. Ok so, I mean why did I choose Taco? Well, I love Tacos and it’s something that I can pun with… You will see in the final piece.
