Dawn's Build
Illustration
2025
This is the dual breakdown of my protagonist Dawn.She had 2 designs for her protected, imaginative self I call "Bakery Build"and her neglected, more detailed self I call her "Reality Build"
“Dawn's design was based off a baby photo of mine and my mother. I picked her traits from stereotypical "little feminine girl" characteristics (round blush, pigtails)She wears a shirt as opposed to a pajama set to allude to the neglect she experiences, this is also reflected in her bare feet and unkept hair.Her apron and chef hat contrast this as they are items she creates for herself in her escapism space.”
